Distorted sense of smell

2021-07-19 07:21:30
Hello doctors, I had mild covid symptoms from 28/4/21 My antigen was positive on 2/5/21 and the next day I also tested for my rtpcr which was negative ( please see the attached) That time I lost my sense of smell completely 100% for 3 weeks around. I started feeling good from 5/5/21 and after some days, also got my smell back. But now from 10 days approx, I have a distorted sense of smell, not able to eat anything and now I hate almost every food, even my favorites also. I don't have any other symptoms. What could be the cause? Please suggest me what should I do now. Thanks in advance :)
