Can amoxicillin affect your taste buds?

In: Medication and Drugs, Human Anatomy, Antibiotics, Amoxicillin [Edit categories]

Answer:

I'm not totally sure, but it certainly did affect mine. I had an extreme case of strep throat and took amoxicillin for 8 days. It's been about a week now and food still doesn't taste the same. I really hope my taste buds get back to normal
