There is no medicine as such to bring back taste sensation in mouth.
It usually takes around 3-6 months for taste to revert.
For ease of swallowing you can ask patient to take small bites and chew properly before swallowing. Also, eating hard foods should be avoided.
Lemon toffees can be given to patient to suck on for production of saliva
