Loss of little smell and taste

2020-10-11 12:35:34
Is it possible that after recovering from flu, you will loose little smell and taste both. I was unwell with fever and sore throat for past 5 days. Now no cough or fever, but suddenly today, i lost little taste and smell with slight heavy head. I am taking the course of Ciprofloxacin500 (day3). Is this normal? My spo2 is 97.
