Taste and smell

Question

Taste and smell

Asked for Female, 24 Years

Hi..From past one month my sister is unable to taste proper flavours and even smell. Consulted a doctor and took medicines. Initially she was getting weird chemical taste and smell. After using the medication the chemical or weird taste just got a little better. But not fully recovered. She is able to smell things but not get the exact fragrance of it. She is able to taste sweet, salt and spicy flavours. How can this problem be treated? Please suggest medication or any home remedies for this if possible. Please help..Thanks in advance
