Should you be alarmed if your taste buds are numb while taking medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: Nevertheless, make sure that you brush your tongue after taking your medicine. Also, if the numbness continues after one weak when finished your treatment, seek help with an ENT specialist.
