Question

3. During severe cough and cold we don't get the taste of food
​

Answer 1

Answer:

ok to explain this you need to know what flavor is. Flavor is, in simple terms, 80% smell, and 20% taste. There the hair cells carry the odor related information to the brain. But when we a have cold, due to the mucus in our nose we are not able to smell the odor and hence our brain is not able to tell us about the flavor of the dishes that we are having.
