What Causes Loss In Sense Of Taste After A Sore Throat Infection?

Hi. It started with a sore throat 3 nights ago. Then a runny nose. When I layer down at night I felt all my fluids dripping into my throat. My sore throat is now gone, but I have lost my sense of taste. I have a cough that burns in my chest and my nose is stuffy. Please help.
Thanks

ENT Specialist,  's  Response
hello and welcome to health care magic,

You seem to be having an infection of the upper resp tract. Most likely you need an antibiotic like amox-clav and antihistamine like levocetrizine. You need to consult an ENT as soon as possible and start on these medications as soon as possible
