During cold loss of smell is common , but in given pandemic situation always watch for other associated symptoms like fever,   cough,  bodyaches , tiredness ,.weakness ....if this loss of smell lasts got long time need to check on covid infection as well....till then continue decongestant nasal drops,  steam inhalation
