Think you're just going to have to ride it out NQ. Just have some lemsip or beechams and drink plenty of fluids (not alcohol) and you should feel better in a few days. I'd also stick to bland foods for a couple of days until your taste buds recover. You don't want to waste anything nice that you can't taste.
tigger - if you take a face cloth or t-towel and soak it in water as hot as you can bear, then apply it over your ear for 5 to 10 mins, it helps make the snot more runny and thereby clear the Eustachian tube......learnt this from an airline person as to flying with a blocked head....
