Weird taste on tongue

Never had tongue surgery but 18 months post chemoradio for tonsil cancer I do get some strange tastes in my mouth ... usually disappears after a couple of days.....

Mention it to your oncology team?

Yes I have burning tongue on the treatment side with altered taste there too. It’s what I expected. It comes and goes I’ve just got used to it. 

No surgery but do suffer with bouts of thrush on tongue, which leaves an awful taste in mouth

Hi, I’ve also had tongue surgery, right neck dissection and I am now 12 weeks post RT and I still have a bad taste in my mouth and am relying on painkillers. I’ve just been able to start eating easy meals like mash potatoes and gravy. 

Hope you soon feel better.

Thank you for your replies juts good to hear it’s normal even though frustrating. Months of full taste back now feel like it’s gone again! Guess juts got to get use to this little obstacles that come our way x 

I had managed to get steak pie back into my diet then out of the blue I could not stand it ... strange times.

Hi you’re not on your own i periodically still  get burning tonight. I have certain triggers which give it me I kept food diary and for me it’s strong mature cheese ( I love cheese) fermented foods. Pickles etc. I can go months then it starts again I’ve learnt to live with it. Oh the joys. Remember we are all different I had no surgery just chemo radiotherapy.
