Medication: It is not unusual since you are having the presence of mucus. Try to brush your tongue and also try earm salt water rinses.

It Can Happen: Viral infections have an affinity to affect nerve tissues. There can be a shift in your taste acuity or total loss of taste. Most of the time taste returns to normal, although it can take months. You can try to help it by taking a multivitamin with minerals with adequate amounts of b-complex vitamins with vitamin c and zinc which are all involved with taste perception.
