Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of cetylpirdinium chloride gargle while avoiding taste abnormalities and adverse reactions. Methods One case of taste disorder caused by cetylpirdinium chloride gargle was discussed. Based on a review of related reports at home and abroad, the cause of taste disorder and possible mechanisms were studied. Results Taste abnormalities caused by the use of cetylpirdinium chloride gargle were quite common globally. Early detection and interventions had to be carried out to restore taste. Conclusion The incidence of taste abnormalities caused by the use of cetylpirdinium chloride gargle remains relatively high. It is recommended that doctors and patients alike be aware of the likelihood of this adverse reaction. Once taste disorders occur, the drug should be discontinued quickly and symptomatic treatment initiated.
