Thank you for choosing HCM

Based on what you are describing, it is possible that you have rhinitis medicamentosa which is a condition in which there is atrophy of the sinuses and causes loss of taste sensation. I recommend that you see a Doctor as soon as possible and get examined.

Once confirmed, you should stop taking the medication. All the best.
Hope this helps you
