dysgeusia (bad taste)
... Dysgeusia has been variously defined as a disgusting oral taste or altered taste sensation. Hypogeusia is defined as a reduction in all 4 taste modalities i.e. sweet, salty, sour and bitter. Ageusia occurs when none of these 4 taste modalities can be perceived. A spontaneous, continuously altered, o ...
