Bad smell & bad taste
From past 11 days am having a bad metallic kind of taste in my mouth whenever I eat anything with spices/ onion. After 4/5 days I started to sense bad smell similar like my taste. I was Covid positive in April this year and I got my Covid taste recently which came negative and am still yet to be vaccinated. Please let me know why am I having this kind of taste and smell? I brush two times and floss regularly too
