Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The loss of taste cane be because of the loss of taste buds secondary to the cold and the antibiotics you are taking. Once you stop taking drugs then it will return back to normal. Mean while you can take multivitamins particularly vitamin B6 and B12.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
