Why the smell and taste is less

2022-02-18 16:44:26
My antigen came positive on Jan 6th 2022 but the smell and taste were intact however past 15 days the smell and taste are not fully coming. What I eat the smell doesn't stay in the mouth for a long time example onion. Also only the strong smells are detectable. I had taken renerved tablet suggested by a doctor but still the same.
