Follow up witdoctor: Please make an appointment to see your doctor to check your sinuses and make sure that you are up to date with your dental visits.

Get evaluated: Since there are several medical conditions that can cause changes in taste and smell, it would be a good idea to consult with your primary care doctor. Once these are ruled out, other psychological issues can be explored.
