Where’s my taste buds gone?

Hi all, I can smell fine but my taste has been off for a week. I had a very very minor cold last week then got a bad throat. By Friday I couldn’t taste so I got a covid test - negative.

I can only assume a mix of the cold and sore throat has messed with my taste buds big time. Also had really bad acid reflux this week (it’s Christmas after all) which probably hasn’t helped! I also have problems with my Salivary glands. All of this probably hasn’t helped.

I can taste but it’s very bland. Cant really taste whilst chewing but get the full flavour when swallowed. I’ve lost my sense of taste with a cold before but never for this long.

I feel fine in myself and I can smell. Very bizarre as taste is heavily impacted by smell but I can smell everything fine if anything my sense of smell is heightened. Oh burnt toast and it got right yo my
Nose from upstairs!

Ideas on how I can improve my palate by tomorrow please? 🤣🤣
