Suggest Cause For Loss Of Taste/smell Post Sinus Infection

Last year I had a sinus infection in may, when it cleared I couldnt taste or smell, to this day I still cannot. They did allergy testing, found out iam allergic to cats, ive had cats for over.26 years. Im taking shots but stii no taste or smell, could it be something else like a tooth infection?

Hi
No relation with loss of taste and tooth infection.loss of taste might be because of antibiotics you have used for your sinusitis problem.in sinusitis infection usually one will have bad smell and taste due to purulent infection that is dripping into mouth called as post nasal drip.what ever please consult your specialist
