Influenza, colds, and other viral infections; bacterial upper respiratory infections and sinus infections; and fungal infections can cause this, although it is usually a temporary condition that goes away when the other acute signs of the infection go away. If this sensory loss has persisted beyond that, you should check with a health care professional to find out if you need treatment.

Your sense of taste is connected to your ability to smell. If your nasal passages are blocked, lets say because of a cold or the flu, your ability to taste will be impaired.

Why is food less palatable when you have a cold?
When you are sick with something like the flu, it can make it difficult to smell things. Swollen sinuses or a blocked nose can be the cause of this for you. When you taste something, more than half of the flavor comes from the smell of it. For example, eating a potato, apple, and onion with your nose pinched, will all taste the same. Another (less likely) reason could be that you have a layer of mucus built up on your tongue with the cold, use your toothbrush to brush off your tongue when you brush your teeth to see if that will help.
