See a dentist: I recommend that she sees a dentist and a medical doctor. A dentist can evaluate her full medical history including medications that she may be taking that could be affecting her taste. This could also be a systemic problem so a medical doctor can evaluate her for those issues also. Different issues can cause problems with taste buds so it is important to have everything evaluated completely.

Dysguesia: Dysgeusia is a distortion of the sense of taste. Common causes of dysgeusia can include chemotherapy, asthma treatment with albuterol, and zinc deficiency. Many medications can also be responsible for altering taste. For this reason your mom needs to consult with her physician as to the possible causes and treatment available.
