I am 8 days out of surgery to remove a large non-cancerous nodule from my thyroid. I am healing as one would expect for the time passed; however, I have had a bad taste in my mouth since surgery. I am also having a hard time tasting food. I was given morphine for pain for 10 or so hours after surgery, and could seem to taste it after each injection. I am wondering if this could be playing a part in my tastebuds being zapped and the rotten taste in my mouth.
Thanks for any replys on this.
