Evaluate the drafted changes
You start with a strong lead that gives an immediate explanation as to what hypgeusia is which is great, I don't think that part needs any changes. Overall I think the organization is quite good and sensical, helps flow and is very similar to other Wikipedia articles in relationship to diseases and their symptoms.

Article


 * Causes

I would delete the initial sentence where you just list the causes, as you simply list them again in the section but with greater detail. If you feel the need to preserve the hyperlinks, just add them into their respective subsections.

The entirety of the cancer section is a bit too close to lines from the referenced article, I'd recommend paraphrasing them more in your own words.


 * Treatment

First sentence repeats COVID-19 three times which is a bit repetitive, could do with some reformatting there.

I'd also maybe break up the treatment into separate sections like you did for the Causes section, as currently it's just a variety of different treatments for completely different diseases and disorders all in one paragraph which is a bit hectic.

References

Sources are definitely current for the most part which is great, however it does seem a bit light. Are there any other reviews in medical journals that could be found regarding hypogeusia?

Here's just a few articles I found that may or may not be helpful in buffing up the article;
