Can I have reduced taste sensation during a sinus infection?
Sure, it can be. Much of your taste sensation actually depends on olfactory (smell) function. Nasal blockage reduces your ability for smell and thus for taste also. It should come back to normal when your infection clears. (Caveat – some viral infections can affect taste directly and this can persist after the infection clears. This is uncommon however.) See your physician if your problem persists. READ MORE
