Tips for losing your sense of taste when you have a cold

We all know that headaches, colds and fevers are the most normal diseases around us. Because some people do not take proper precautions or have insufficient resistance to the external environment, they usually suffer from symptoms such as colds, headaches and loss of appetite. In this case, you won’t feel like eating. So let’s learn some tips on how to deal with the loss of taste when you have a cold.

After catching a cold, the trace elements in the body decrease under the influence of the virus, and the resistance also decreases. After a fever, the body temperature rises, leading to an increase in liver fire and spleen fire. As we all know, changes in our oral environment and endocrine system are closely related to the liver and spleen. The last one is what we often call oral inflammation. The main symptoms of oral inflammation are oral ulcers and a decreased perception of taste buds on the tongue. Combined with the decreased resistance after a cold, some people experience a loss of taste on the tongue and a loss of appetite. You can eat small meals frequently and eat foods that are easily digestible.

2 It is normal to have no taste in food when you have a cold. You can eat some sweet and sour foods, such as hawthorn rolls, hawthorn cakes, or foods made with hawthorn.

3. Do exercise or play games. When you have a cold, you can do something else to divert your attention. This method can obviously improve the discomfort of a cold.

4. Notes

The weather is getting colder, so wear more clothes.

The reason why people can taste different flavors when eating is due to their tongue and nose. But the nerves on the tongue can only distinguish sweet, sour, salty and bitter; all other flavors must be smelled by the nose. The various smells of food are inhaled into the nose and transmitted to the brain by the olfactory nerves, so that we can know the taste of the food. When you have a cold, your nasal mucosa becomes congested and swollen, and your olfactory cells cannot be exposed to odor stimulation, so you will feel that food has no taste. This will go away after the cold is gone. Don't worry too much, take cold medicine, rest and drink plenty of water.
