How To Cure Sore Throat And Loss Of Taste?
I had a sore throat recently and suddenly lost taste. It seemed odd that I ate a piece of Christmas candy that is usually a very strong mint like taffy...and it tasted like nothing. There seemed to be an almost saline taste in place of what used to be a strong mint taste.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.
I recommend to use a throat spray with antibacterial properties.
I also recommend to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen.
I recommend to rest and drink a lot of liquids.
Hope my answer was helpful.
