Is it normal to have weird taste after tt surgery?

Question

It seems like the only thing I can drink is water. I tried apple juice and tea and it all taste weird to me.

Thank you very much for that question. That is a phenomenon that is not so uncommon. Some medications may change taste perception.  Especially Cephalosporins (antibiotics)  are known to have this side effect.  Technically it can also be a substance  administered during surgery as an anesthetic, but this is not so likely. Once you stop taking the medication that causes the change in taste it will subside. So not to worry

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Sometimes the anesthesia used will leave a strange taste in the mouth.  It should resolve after a few days.  If it doesn't, mention it to your surgeon.
