Loss of taste after COVID vaccination
Hi doctor,
I got vaccinated 2 days back and had fever and headache. I also have lost the taste.. is it normal to lose taste after taking the vaccine? Or is it because I had fever post vaccination?
Before getting vaccinated I had some sort of white rashes in my mouth. but there wasn't any fever.

This is reported both in case of Covid and Covid vaccine.
You will gradually get it back.
I believe your fever is now resolved.
If there are persistent symptoms , we need to do some blood work.
Please observe for symptoms for a couple of days and consult if required
