The woes of being sick. I came down with something last week and its persistent as ever. I still cannot taste at all - except that nasty taste of sick (cant describe it but no amount of gum or altoids takes it away). I feel like I have been doing everything right - taking multi. Vitamins, eating lots of fruits, resting, drinking tons of water - but this cold persists.
I hate not being able to smell or taste. That drives me crazy.
Any helpful home remedies to suggest?

@maezee i just forced myself to eat something so i can take medicine, because otherwise, i'd get a stomachache if i did on an empty stomach.

I was sick of cold and cough for the past days. I wasn't able to sleep & eat well until tonight. The meds worked for me.

Have you consulted with the doctor?
