Brief Answer:

Possible Dysguesia

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

This altered taste perception is called Dysgeusia

This occurs due to a combination of side effects of pills used in the treatment and partially as a recovery process.

Nothing to worry much. Just maintain adequate hydration by drinking a lot water. You will recover shortly.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
