Symptoms Of Thrush

Loss Of Taste

As in mouth lesions, there are various causes of formation of thrush in the mouth that inhibits taste. According to experts, one of the major activities that cause an individual’s ability to taste to become inhibited is tobacco smoking. This is by numbing and killing (in prolonged tobacco use) the taste buds in the tongue. Patients who have quit tobacco smoking may gradually regain part of their sense of taste and smell or fully regain the senses if they have not engaged in the vice for too long. Prolonged exposure to toxins like insecticides is also a known cause of loss of taste and cracked skin at corners of the mouth. Thrush caused by disease or infections also inhibits taste sensations. Though temporary, oral thrush could cover up the taste buds in the mouth inhibiting the sense of taste in an individual.
