Taste buds not working?

My husband has been complaining that recently food has no little or no taste. Any medical reason why this would happen?

    THis is often caused by smoking... does he smoke?

    If not it could be similar to something I had happen when I was really little. I ate a really sour candy before and I lost my taste of everything for about a month and then it came back. If your husband is an older person however then it might be best to check with your physician (or Dr.Google) because at a later age it could be an early warning sign... maybe.

    I have lost my taste with everything! could it be cause I changed to a different medication? I m miserable because its been a month. I called the doctor that prescribed it and told me to call my primary doctor! What do you think?

    Does he have a cold? Or is his nose stuffed up? Sometimes when you are congested, it is difficult to taste.
