Many people actually notice the loss of taste first.
That’s because smell contributes so much to taste that when the olfactory cells aren’t working properly, you have a hard time tasting food. Most people who think they’ve lost taste have actually just lost smell. Normal aging can cause diminished sense of taste and smell, because of a decline in overall brain density and function. There are theories that COVID-19 might damage these nerves, or damage your mucosa (a lining in your nose that helps your nose sense odors). Long-term loss of taste and smell can be from the olfactory cells or certain nerves that have been damaged through trauma to the head or skull (such as a concussion). The inflammation prevents smells and odors from reaching the very top of the nasal passages, where olfactory cells, which sense smell, are located. It can also be caused by other illnesses and structural problems.Ī temporary loss of taste and smell can be caused by an obstruction in the nose, like if you have inflammation (causing a stuffy nose) from allergies or a cold or flu.

Disclaimer: It's very important to wear proper warm clothes and take plenty of immunity-boosting foods to prevent the cold. Take special care of your health during winters to protect yourself from the bacteria and viruses that can cause cold. As goes the old and very sage saying, prevention is better than cure. In order to fix your sense of taste, you should include more liquids in your diet, along with foods that contain vitamin C.

That can be because of the increased intake of antibiotics, but more often than not, you don't feel like eating much.
