Hi,

Usually taste and smell sensation gets disturbed in viral fevers. Even though if you don't have any fever, I would still recommend you to get examined to rule out any possibility of viral infection.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Raju A. T., General & Family Physician
