My mother has lost her taste of mouth from last 2 months except chilli taste. She is 62 years old, living in India.

Ans: Taste buds become blunt particularly over the tip of the tongue and sides of the tongue
So one really need to pep up the spices to feel their existence.
Particularly those who are sharp in their mind.
So it is good to have chilly but please ask her to go for green chilly and pepper spice than redchillies

i had lost my taste and smell in april 2021, during covid second wave . I did not had any major issues other than high fever for 9 days at that time .Now after almost 2.5 years i have not regained actual smell and taste till date but have some different but common smell for all different perfumes and smoke . Is there any chance of regaining the actual smell and taste now. please advise

Ans: Dear Mohinder,
This is pretty unpleasant to know. I suggest that you visit a specialist maybe like an ENT specialist who can actually investigate the matter further and give sound medical advice.
In the meantime, you can take charge by activating your senses again...It's an attempt that may or may not lead to an outcome; but no harm in trying.
Everyday alternate between smelling and tasting something different with at least 5 different foods/objects/flowers/fruits/combination of these. So, in all:
- 5 things to smells
- 5 things to taste

Do this slowly and savor the moment recognizing even the faintest of taste or smell...if there is a response, then keep continuing...trying it with strong smelling fruits like oranges or foods like garlic may help. Again, I will mention this is something that you can try...it may or may not work but its worth the effort.

All the best!
