A member asked:

Well i ve done a tonsillectomy 3 weeks ago am roughly recovered but i ve problem o tasting anything .. i'm 27 years old please i need a solution !?

Time: Please let your surgeon know. However usually these problem will improve over time (even though by 3 weeks usually most issues are resolved). Your case just might need a bit longer. Also if you have nasal congestion your sense of taste will be reduced.
