A member asked:
I've used nasal spray and have taken claritin and mucinex (guaifenesin). is there anything i can do to taste again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need diagnosis: Loss of the sense of taste frequently accompanies loss of smell. The latter is due to dysfunction of the olfactory nerves. Claritin, an antihistamine, and a nasal steroid spray will not help. You have to find out why you have lost your sense of smell. Nasal endoscopy needs to be performed and if roof of nose is normal, consult a neurologist.
