This medication has worked very well for me. I noticed a difference within the first couple days. Question: Is it possible for this medication to cause me to lose my sense of taste? At first I thought it was a result of the sinus infection, but I just finished the meds this morning and am hoping that my sense of taste returns.

I have been taking this drug for 7 days and it definitely helped with my nasal congestion and discharge.
