Answers:
Rhinitis, sinusitis!. If your mucus is yellow or green you have a bacterial sinus infection & need an antibiotic!.

Try Mucinex-D to loosen & thin mucus & decongest you (it works great)make your cough more productive & less frequent;
Take Advil or Aleve to reduce inflammation;
Gargle with very warm salt water 3-4X/day;
Gargle with Hydrogen peroxide (it will feel weird because of bubbles;
Tea with honey & lemon;
Suck on Zinc lozenges, suck on cough drops with eucalyptus;
Vit C!. 2000mg every 2 hours for 2-3 days;
Zinc 50mg!.

Taste really comes from your olfactory sense!.!.!.so if you can't smell your taste will be very dulled!.

For sinus infection, I recommend a nasal lavage with weak salt water, and hydrogen peroxide in water (pint to gal) in a COOL mist vaporizer!. Should be better in two days!. Many other things can contribute!. Mineral deficiencies pinched nerves,!. inflamed adenoids, (for a starting list)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anytime you have you have a cold or sinus symptoms you are going to have a hard time smelling things!. Because smell has a lot to do with taste, things will seem like they have little or not taste to them!. Once you clear up, smelling and tasting will return!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
