Why can't I taste spicy food randomly anymore?

I'm 16 and I eat an average amount of spicy but today when I had something that would normally burn the hell out of my tongue. I had curry rice covered in Thai ketchup and jalape�o oil with chili peppers and I didn't even taste the spiciness I was sweating and hiccuping but my taste buds just didn't even notice it, I do have a cold and thats pretty much the only thing out of the ordinary that I feel. just curious of whats going on cause normally something like that would really really burn.
