Lost smell and taste post cold

2021-11-04 04:23:31
Hi Doctor I had been suffering from cold a week ago. Had stuffy nose without nasal discharge and had sore throat. it was accompanied by mild fever ranging between 100.3-100.9. Now stuffy nose issue has resolved and sore throat is mild with no fever. But I haven't got back my taste and smell. I cannot smell even a little. Ability to taste is also lesser. No other discomfort. Please let me know if this is normal and what can be done. Thank you

Get tested for covid at 1st so that you can isolate yourself from your family members and not to spread it, incase you have.
