 After quitting smoking, it may take some time for your sense of taste to fully recover. However, there are several things you can do to help improve your sense of taste: Stay hydrated: Ensure you drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day to keep your mouth and taste buds hydrated.

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD)

I selected that disease because it might be mistaken as an oral diseases, but it is mainly systemic disease. Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a human syndrome caused by intestinal viruses. The most common strains causing HFMD are coxsackie A virus and enterovirus 71. About the disease: *** HFMD usually affects infants and children, and is quite common.  *** It is moderately contagious and is spread through direct contact with the mucus, saliva, or feces of an infected person. *** It typically occurs in small epidemics in nursery schools or kindergartens, usually during the summer and autumn months.  *** The usual incubation period    (the time between infection and onset of symptoms)   is 3–7 days. *** It is less common in adults, but those with immune deficiencies are very susceptible. Notice that:  HFMD is not to be confused with foot-and-mouth disease (also called hoof-and-mouth disease), which is a separate disease affecting sheep, cattle, and swine.
