Hello
There us nothing to worry.
Many medical conditions like cold and flu,ear infections,sinus infections,respiratory tract infections and antibiotics cab result in temporary loss of taste.
Once the medicine course and illness is over,you shall become alright.
The dose of antibiotics being taken is alright and thus dose has nothing to do with loss of taste.
Thanks

Dysgeusia is known to occur along with viral fever, with drugs intake in asthma patients etc.
I think you should not worry and take some multivitamin with zinc supplementation for early recovery.
