For last 3 days no smell or taste. She have not been out for 4 months, I am also working from home with minimum contact with outer world. What could be the reason apart from covid symptoms? She doesn't have any other symptoms. Any medicine suggestions?

Loss of taste and smell are one among major and common symptoms of Covid 19. Person should be isolated and tested for Covid. If Covid report is negative still isolation is mandatory for 2weeks. If you neglect this thinking you have not been anywhere outside, you are doing more harm than benefit to your entire family.

RT PCR COVID19 TEST
