What Causes Loss Of Smell And Taste?

My friend can t smell or taste any food ..... doctor told her that would be a sinus problem but today he told that would be probably FOREVER problem . She took very low mgs of predisone (since she is allergic) Do you think that she should hear a second opinion? She will be taking an MRI to the face and then the doctor will let her know what s going to happen
