Yes, loss or impairment of the sense of taste can be one of the possible side effects of antibiotic use. Some antibiotics can affect taste receptors and cause a temporary loss of the ability to taste the sense.
In most cases, these symptoms are temporary and disappear after the end of the antibiotic treatment. However, if the loss of taste persists or is bothersome, it is recommended that you consult a doctor who can assess the situation and take appropriate measures.
It's also worth remembering that loss of taste can be related to other causes, not necessarily related to the antibiotic, so it's important to tell your doctor about the symptoms you're experiencing.
If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
