Zinc?: After your doc has examined you, you might consider getting your zinc level checked. If it is low it can contribute to loss of smell and taste. A natural doc or nutritionist would be a good person to consult. Too high a zinc level can cause other issues so please get professional guidance. Peace and good health.
