Taste and Smell Disorder

Question

Asked for Male, 59 Years

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?
