Suggest Remedy For Loss Of Sense Of Taste

Three weeks ago I lost my sense of taste...but I can still smell foods. Although I haven't tried smelling lots of food - what I'm eating I can smell. Like tonight - making beans and rice with spices and green chili. I am vegan so no meat dairy in those items. I can smell them cooking on the stove, but I can't taste them.

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain loss of taste or Aguesia is caused by a number of reasons like tongue inflammation [glossitis], over intake of tobacco, stress, multiple sclerosis, nerve damage that supplies the tongue more specifically Chorda Tympani and Glossopharyngeal nerve, deficiency of vitamin B3 and zinc, in hormonal problems like Hypothyroidism and diabetes, side effect of certain medicines like Blood pressure medicines, Clarithromycin,Tebinafine etc
You should consult an Otolaryngologist or an ENT expert and get evaluated for the exact cause of the loss of taste and get treated accordingly as treatment of the underluing cause can help in resolution..

Hope this information helps..
