A member asked:
Is it normal to still have loss of taste even after a week after surgery (herniated cervical disks)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any other symptoms?: This sounds unusual however not serious and will most likely resolve on its own. Discuss with your primary doctor if not resolving within a week. Difficulty swallowing or with tongue should be seen right away.
