A member asked:
I have had a common cold for four days but when i eat food smells and taste like rubbing alcohol ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal congestion: These symptoms are due to the nasal membrane inflammation and congestion. Distorted taste is common when the sense of smell is impaired and these symptoms will resolve when the nasal passages clear and return to normal.
