Your sense of taste is directly linked with your sense of smell. That's why people hold their nose when they have to taste something unsavory. When you have a cold your nose is stopped up so your sense of smell is reduced, thus so is your sense of taste.

The sense of smell and taste go together. Try pinching your nose and taste something at the same time, the taste seems to be faint. The same thing happens when you get a cold because your nose is all clogged up.

If anything it was the cold that made you lose your taste. The cough drops probably have nothing to do with it.

Because your sense of taste is mostly influenced by smell. And clogged up sinuses and nasal passages pretty much screw that up.

because your sense of smell has a lot to do with taste.. both are interconnected.. so if you are unable to smell, you are also unable to taste.. just another crappy part about having a cold
