What Causes An Altered Sense Of Smell And Taste After Food Poisoning?
I was in Mongolia and got food poisoning ( coming out both ends) took ciprofloxacin 250mg and loperamide 2mg for the diarrhea. Symptoms cleared and it has now been 13 days since I quit meds. I have this aweful taste and smell in my nose and mouth. I thought for a while it was all the lamb/mutton in Mongolia, but we left Mongolia on the 12th of July, spent 4 night in Seoul, Korea and now we are home. I feel ok a little tired, but the smell is gross. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

dear
It is good to find that you are ok and the symptoms have subsided.
Please dont worry about the taste an smell as sometimes after food poisoning and in take of antibiotics we get a taste change.
So take good care of your diet,rest and add sufficient amount of fluids to your diet.
take care
hope this helps
