Loss of taste/smell?!


Question: I am just getting over a cold. But this has never happened to me before....

I have completley lost my sense of taste and smell. So much so, that I can't smell or taste tuna fish or even garlic and onions. I can breathe fine through my nose, but I just can't smell anything. . .
is there a natural way for me to get my smell/taste senses back?
what could have caused this?

Possibly polyps but more likely to do with your recent cold.
Check with an Ear/nose /throat specialist. In the meantime, be sure you eat properly because it's easy to lose interest in food when you can't smell or taste anything. Good luck.

u on any meds? I would think that might be a side effect. If not call your doctor like right now!!

are you on medicine cos it could be the side effects

i m currently doing ENT WARD..
there are many reason,like you r suffering from flu,cold....
or may be side effect of a drug that makes your mouth dry..
but dont worry its not serious..
just once again wash your mouth and nose...
