Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my clinical inference, the migraine per se does not alter taste or smell sensation.
There might be underlying systemic issue which is responsible for the same and has to be evaluated with the ENT specialist and neurologist expert.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
