How many days after a seizure does your mouth return to tasting food. Everything at the moment taste sour

I just looked it up and the frontal lobe controls cognitive functions and vonluntary movement and functions. I would also say that part is in the parietal lobe, which is the mid-rear of the brain because that part controls temperature, touch, taste and movement. So I'm guessing the main area you have seizure activity is in your Parietal lobe.
Mine are in the right and what's left of my left temporal lobes. I say "what's left" of my left temporal lobe because most of it was removed when I was 14. It controls short term memory, so unfortunately I have bad short term memory loss due to it and not long after my left temporal lobectomy, seizure activity was found in my right temporal lobe which controls taste, sound, sight and touch.

Not food. It's water that gives me a funny taste/sensation when I drink it.

I've never lost my taste after a seizure. I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know where the seizure activity is in your brain? What Lobe?

Good post, I may have had that happen to me in my condition with, but rarely I'd say, but not a issue with me, but get people's opinions here and then go to your doc about the post here and then go from there about it and good luck with your outcome with it, amen
