I had a cold about 3 weeks ago. My cold is gone, but I still cant taste or smell my food. WTH is going on? Will my taste buds ever come back? Ive been to the hospital and they gave me cetirizine pills and a nose spray called fluticasone propionate.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The sensation of taste should come back. It may take a few more weeks. The continued use of the medication may help. Persistent inflammation of the nasal passages/ sinuses may cause distortion of taste, the medication would help to reduce this. I hope this helps
