A member asked:
I am 84 years old, i lost my sense of taste a year ago, went to several doctors, no help. any ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zinc lozenges : Zinc deficiency can cause loss of taste. Too much zinc can cause hand and foot numbness. If all other major medical problems have been eliminated, try zinc lozenges, not pills. Use twice a day for 3 days then 3days off and repeat as needed.
