Hi Welcome to HCM.
Smoking, drinking very hot or very cold liquids, daily vigorous tongue cleaning with tongue cleaner etc. may numb the taste buds. Avoid these things. Corex Syp. as such should not be causing numbness of taste buds.
Wait for a couple of days and see if the taste buds regain functioning otherwise consult a doctor.
