Keep her well hydrated. Give her nutrition rich food, the amount of food doesn't matter, nutrition matters. Take care

It goes away slowly. Bitter taste can be because of the medicines that she took. Have to drink a lot of water. Scrubbing the tongue will brushing helps a little bit. But she has to eat properly only then she'll recover soon.
