Loss of smell after covaxin 2nd dose

2021-05-28 06:24:15
I have loss of smell and bitter mouth and slight weakness after taking the second dose of covaxin on 22-May-2021. Prior to that on 19 May, I had cold and I took cetrizine and paracetamol which subsided on 21 May2021. I was also in touch with covid-19 recovering family members for a month who had no symptoms and had 1st dose of vaccine each. Can I get tested for covid-19 given I took second dose on 22 May 2021? Or is it just side effects of vaccine?

Please get tested for covid19. Vaccination doesn't give false positive report in RT-PCR TEST.
