I'm really worried because I've been unable to smell or taste anything for the last three days. I recently had a cold and took a 650mg Calpol tablet, which helped with my congestion, but my senses of taste and smell haven't come back. It's frustrating because I can't enjoy eating at all. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
