Loss of Taste & Smell
I am experiencing loss of taste & smell for over 3 weeks now. I tried home remedies for initial 1week, then consulted nearby doctor who gave me antacids which didnot help. Then another doctor suggested b-complex tablets. I have been taking them for a week now & steam 3-4times a day. There is little improvement in the smell part but nothing on the taste part. Temperature & Oxyegen level has been checked & is absolutely normal. I have food allergy & i m on medication for the same for last 2yrs(xyzal m once a day).
Also my tongue has developed a white layer.
