This ALWAYS happens to me when I get a cold. My sense of smell and taste disappear for about 2 days, and then reappear again when i'm able to breathe better through my nose. I've tried Sudafed and Tylenol Head Congestion, and both failed miserably. The only thing that has worked thus far, the moment I feel that cold coming on, even if its just a twinge of irritation in the throat or nose, I take garlic capsules(ones specifically for the immune system) and goldenseal root capsules...I usually take 2 of each twice a day for about a week after the first signs of my cold start. Once the illness sets on, my taste and smell will only disappear for a few hours at most. It only works, though if I start taking them early.
Other than that, nothing else has worked. Peppermint tea has a slight menthol affect that may soothe your sinus and loosen up your clogs a bit...other than that, just be patient and keep blowing that nose.

Take antibiotics and get rid of the cold

Your taste will come back when you are well again.
