Recovering From Major Gallbladder Surgery. Losing Sense Of Taste. Applying An Anti-fungal Cream Under Breasts. Remedy?
Recovering from major gallbladder surgery (couldn't remove it laproscopicly) one month ago. No longer on anti-biotics or pain medicine. I'm losing my sense of taste. Nothing I eat tastes like it should. The only thing I'm doing different is applying an anti-fungal cream under my breasts due to not wearing a bra. Is this problem related to the GB surgery and will my taste buds get better over time?
hello loss of taste sensations is unrelated to gall bladder surgery or application of any antifungal cream............. common causes of loss of taste are- GERD mouth infection poor oral hygiene radiation therapy salivary gland infection sinusitis sjogren syndrme tobacco use vitamin b 12 deficiency, glossitis, zinc deficiencyoral candidiasis are other causes of loss of taste i think if you can do it then please consult a dental surgeon or even a general practitioner to actually find out the cause of your loss of taste and proceed with the treatment accordingly hope it helps
