Leflunomide or covid

IreneG

Hi. This is my first post and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing their tea tasting really salty for some reason. I have been taking leflunomide for nearly two weeks now, having stopped methotrexate due to horrible side effects. I am also into day 6 of contracting COVID. I am really not sure whether it's the drug or covid causing it. Has anyone experienced this. It's only really tea that seems to be really salty. Thank you
