How do you recover your sense of smell and taste after a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Advise: You may have some residual sinusitis which inhibits normal passage of aromas via the cribriform plate. If so, treatment of remaining issues should reverse your problems. See an ENT doctor. Have also found that many patients restore their sense of smell taking zinc supplements.
