Once the repeat swab also comes negative.. Please get urself evaluated for sinusitis.. It is very much possible that dental infection caused some sinusitis and that is showing symptoms of cough and loss of smell and mild nasal obstruction.. Take steam 2 times daily till the time you get evaluated

You should get covid swab RT PCR done at earliest.covid antibody test is not for diagnosis ,it's to see your blood immunity level for corona virus ,this is not diagnostic at all. If this comes negative , you will need evaluation on a separate direction for loss of smell .
