Hello and welcome to HCM,
Loss of taste and odor sensations suggests some neurological problem.
You need to consult an ENT specialist to clinical assessment.
The tests are required to assess the sensations, degree of loss of sensations and their cause.
Once the cause of these symptoms are known, treatment can be instituted.
Thanks and take care
