Taste and Smell Disorder

2019-05-24 01:19:34
My father is a patient of pitutary macroadenoma. He has recently from a month started complaining about bad taste of some foods like chapati(roti) and some curries like dal, etc. However he is fine with khichdi, tea, rusks, biscuits, almonds, and fruits, etc. He is also complaining about feeling of nausea when he smells cooking of any food in the kitchen. What could this be because of? Are there any tests for this?

Smell disturbance can happen. But taste most probably not. I think parosmia for his kitchen prob. Consult ENT Dr. You father need clinical examination, test for smell, imaging.
