A member asked:
Is it normal to have a bitter taste in my mouth after tonsillectomy? and diminished sense of taste when eating food? i am 2 weeks post op and wondering when i'll be able to taste my food again?

Assuming you have not had COV ID as cause of taste loss should be better soon. I would ask the surgeon who did it what is the expected recovery time in women like you who have had this procedure in their hands.
