Taste buds not working?

Question

My husband has been complaining that recently food has no little or no taste. Any medical reason why this would happen?

Answer 1

THis is often caused by smoking... does he smoke?

If not it could be similar to something I had happen when I was really little. I ate a really sour candy before and I lost my taste of everything for about a month and then it came back. If your husband is an older person however then it might be best to check with your physician (or Dr.Google) because at a later age it could be an early warning sign... maybe.

Answer 2

Does he have a cold?  Or is his nose stuffed up?  Sometimes when you are congested, it is difficult to taste.
