Hi Doctor, I had been tested positive for covid 19 during April - 21, with prescribed medicines and home isolation recovered and tested negative after quarantine period. After a month from the infection started getting sense of smell but everywhere and evrything smells identical, now after 8 months it's changed and things smells differently from what is is actually ( Taste 100% regained) Could you please advice me on the issue so that I will completely regain my smell Thanks in advance

Wait for few more months. It should improve. Also use Flutoflo nasal spray 2 puffs once a day, both side for nose for 1 month

Sometimes, the nerve that carries your smell information when, affected by the virus may take very long to recover. At times the damage may be permanent/ may or may not recover. You will have to be patient and wait. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment that can guarantee return of function.
