1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in one cup of warm water. Rinse mouth before meals. Also use plastic utensils. This was given by nurse in radiation dept.

It took about 6 months to begin to taste food again. Small meals with different ingredients helped me. I was eating a lot of rice bowls I made at home. Different proteins, rices and vegetables. Worked well for me.

How about trying foods that you typically don't like? Maybe that will fire up the old taste buds?😊

They eventually come back. I just ate a little bit of things which didn’t make me nauseous
