I think i have a cold but how can i get my smell and taste back from it? but it is also hard for me to breathe in. i dont smoke.

Time: The congestion is common and when you are unable to smell items, your sense of taste is poor. Once the congestion clears, you should be back to normal. Many people will try saline nasal sprays or decongestants or antihistamines to help with congestion from the common cold.
