Best Answer

Without assessing you, it is hard to say. However, if you have had any sinus congestion, a runny nose, or some other similar upper airway symptom, your ability to smell/taste may be diminished. (Generally the loss of taste follows a loss of smell, as smell contributes significantly to taste.) There are other causes, such as problems with the cranial nerves. It this loss of smell and taste persists, you should be evaluated by a health care professional.

How are the senses of smell and taste related?

75% of taste is contributed by smell. When you have a cold and you've got a stuffed up nose, usually you can't smell anything. Consequently, you usually can't taste anything, either. That's because the odor molecules can't meet up with the sensory receptors in the nose and transmit that information to the brain.
