Hello!Thank you for posting here.

You did not mention if he is diabetic or hypertensive. Many medicines for hypertension can also cause this scenario.
Check for zinc deficiency.
Go for a non-alcoholic,tobacco free life style.
You can take becosules to correct any b complex deficiencies.
Do not add extra spiced and salts to help feel the taste.Instead you can make it colorful.
Let him chew on a small piece of lemon at times.
Should have plenty amount of fluids(minimum of 3 liters).Maintain good oral hygiene.Get a professional scaling done.
