Loss of taste and smell from colds often refers to the impairment of smell and taste caused by acute rhinitis, which usually cannot be recovered quickly, and the symptoms often disappear only after the infection is under control and the inflammation has subsided. Physical therapy or medication can be used to improve the condition. Physical therapy: You can take a hot bath, apply hot compresses to the mouth and nose, drink more water to promote blood circulation, and ensure rest and sleep to help the body’s resistance to recover, in order to contain the condition and promote recovery. Medication: You can take medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as Qingkailing capsule, cold and flu capsule, compound aminophenol alkylamine tablets, etc. After acute rhinitis is cured, the patient’s sense of taste and smell will also be gradually restored. Patients who have lost their sense of taste and smell with colds should not eat spicy and stimulating foods, or drink strong tea or alcohol, and take their medication on time and in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
