It can take up to a few weeks for your sense of smell and taste to fully return after a cold. However, it varies from person to person. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
A fish's strongest sense is typically its sense of smell. They use their keen sense of smell to detect food, predators, and even to find their way back to their spawning grounds.
Once the nasal mucosa has been damaged by cocaine, it is unlikely to return. There may be a small amount of improvement, but the vast majority of your sense of smell will stay lost. Cocaine doesn't affect taste directly, in that it doesn't affect the tongue very much, but since between 80-90% of our sense of taste is really due to our sense of smell, the perception of taste is also often reduced. And again, since the nasal mucosa is unlikely to grow back to any appreciable degree, the sense of taste is also reduced greatly, and likely to remain damaged.
I'm not totally sure, but it certainly did affect mine. I had an extreme case of strep throat and took amoxicillin for 8 days. It's been about a week now and food still doesn't taste the same. I really hope my taste buds get back to normal
You probably have common cold. Loss of smell sensation or some type of fever make you to loose your test sensation. It will come back eventually with time. By that time you can try some spicy things like prickle and eat what ever you like most.
Taste buds on the front and sides of the tongue are responsible for detecting saltiness. Sodium ions in food interact with taste receptors on taste buds, sending signals to the brain that we perceive as salty taste.
Technically, we only "taste" sweet, sour, salt and bitter. The tongue can only sense those 4 tastes. The rest of what we often call "taste buds" is actually the smell of food. If you have a sinus infection you can often lose the sense of smell. As soon as your cold passes, you are decongested and you start feeling better, your sense of taste should come right back! If you can't taste anything at all, even after you are well, You may need some medical assistance in recovering your sense of smell. Unfortunately there are some who lose their sense of smell and never get it back. Only a doctor can assist you on this one.

A loss of smell and/or taste can be corrected with zinc supplements from a health food store or pharmacy.
How are smell and taste related? The answer is simple: When we taste, we use our sense of smell. Have you ever noticed why when you have a cold, or you've plugged your nose, you can't taste the food in your mouth? This is because we assume automatically that what we are smelling is going to taste that way. So it does. Most of the time. When you taste, you are using your sense of smell to kind of tell you what it is that your eating. If you were to close your eyes and hold your nose and then taste apples and a potato, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. At all. Except maybe the texture. ~Thanks, WorldBook 2001 Edition.
Our sense of smell is more important in detecting flavor because it is responsible for detecting the majority of aromas in food. When we eat, aromas travel up to the back of the throat where they combine with taste to create flavor. Without our sense of smell, we would only be able to detect basic tastes like sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.
not sure if this helps, but my moter quit smoking 3 yrs ago and after a while she eventually got her sense of taste back so im sure that you will to.
Taste and smell are two of our senses that are very much integrated with each other. As a matter of fact, these two senses share afferent pathways to the brain and therefore are influenced by the same stimuli. Both taste buds and olfactory bulbs are in a group of receptors known as chemoreceptors (they respond to chemical stimuli). In the case of smell, it's the aromatic gases released by substances that trigger a response. In the case of taste, it is the mixing of flavor chemicals with saliva in the mouth that triggers a response.

Yes, dogs can use their strong sense of smell to find their way back home.
The sense of smell and taste are closely related in the human body because they work together to help us perceive flavors. When we eat food, molecules from the food travel to the back of our mouth where they are detected by taste buds. These molecules also travel to the nose where they are detected by olfactory receptors, which help us identify specific smells. The brain then combines information from both the taste buds and olfactory receptors to create our overall perception of flavor.
Smell, dragons have a very good sense of smell.
