Hello, My sister is suffering from cold.She is fully vaccinated and covid survivor as well. The sense of smell of my sister goes away when her nose blocks and it returns the moment her nose is cleared. She is panicking. She is thinking that she got affected by covid 19 again.Kindly suggest what can be done to calm her down.
