What Is The Treatment For Sore Throat And Dull Sense Of Taste?

Hello, I do have some seasonal allergies, but they seem to be worsening. I have a constant sore throat, and have lost my sense of smell. My sense of taste is dull also. I do sneeze a great deal in the morning and at dusk. Thank you for your help! Mary

Hi Mary..thanks for your query... from the history given i can say that you might be a patient of allergic rhinitis and may be their is post nasal drip which is continuously irritating your throat hence soreness in throat.....and yes if you have lost the sense of smell also then i would advise you to undergo nasal endoscopy to rule out the possibility of sinonasal polyposis.....once a proper diagnosis is made then your can be treated accordingly..all the best....i hope you got the answer.
