Hospital stay: With limited information included in your question your dysgeusia or taste distortion is most likely related to medicine that might have been started in the hospital, vitamin or mineral deficiency aggravated by fasting or the main condition that caused your hospitalization. Please mention it to your doc at your hospital follow-up for meds review and further recommendations.
