What is the significant loss of the ability to smell?
taste
Why have I not been able to smell or taste anything for at least 7days?
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.
Can sense of taste and smell be restored?
It depends how you lost your sense of taste and smell. Some people are born with poor taste and smell. Allergies, cold or a virus can be a problem, but once it's cleared up then you're smell and taste should return. Head injuries that involve that part of brain are permanent. Some medications can cause this. People going through Chemo or radiation can have poor taste and smell and SOME elderly will experience a loss of taste and smell (thus poor eating habits can occur or no desire to eat.)
