    I've been there. It will go away when you get better.

    One time when I was sick we went to KFC. I bit into the chicken and I swear it tasted like ashes! My hubby thought I was nuts, said there was nothing wrong with the chicken.

    I couldn't eat KFC for years after that.

    Stuffy noses affect the ability to smell food, and smelling the food is a big part of enjoying it and tasting it.

    Once your cold is gone, you will be back to normal.

    How about a real diagnosis from a real doctor rather than the internet?

    Bijiou, I think you should see a doctor, you seem to have a lot of medical issues.

    Tonsil Stone Came Out!
    I pinky Promise! I DIDN'T TOUCH IT! It was this morning since I'm like really sick I think its allergies since the seasons are changing? I don't know but I sneezed 3 times and I felt something going down my throat and I went to the bathroom to look and the tonsil stone basically I swalloed it :(

    I used to get tonsillitis twice a year and ended up with ulcerative tonsillitis and white pockets of pus on my tonsils. I could see the lumps of pus when I looked down my throat. Maybe this is what you've been seeing? (They aren't "stones," just lumps of infection.) Every now and then I'd swallow one, like swallowing a pea.

    Here are Googled images of it (beware, all squeamish people!) --

    You need to see a doctor and probably penicillin to knock out the infection.
