Partial smell and taste

2021-06-07 18:54:56
I caught cold (maybe Covid) back on 25 April 2020. It was cold Symptoms no fever. Cold was getting better by 4tu may but on 5th or 6th I noticed I could not smell. Altered smell. There was heavy strange sensation on nose. I went to doctor they prescribed antibiotics (Azithromycin) and discongestent and multi vitamins for 5 days. It did not help. Anyway, on 14th I developed post viral symptoms muscle ache. Which gets better within few days. I never lost taste, salt, sugar and sour. But I could not tell what o aas eating. My taste has improved slightly back on 30th May. I can tell isolated food, such as mango, cardamom, and litchi. I get mild taste in dal and sabji. Smell is not returning well. I need to sniff things closer to nose, such as deodrant. Strong smells I can smell when bring closer. Sometimes I feel mild heavyness)tightness around nostril during the day. Should I go to ENT ? I have heard they have spray and medicine to make the recovery fast.
