Loss of Smell (Anosmia)
From past few days I have lost my smelling ability, I can't smell anymore but I smell only one kinda smell all the time. I've done with it. On early days it was like some sweet's smell, and for yesterday and today it's seems like it's grease's smell. The smell comes randomly. Maybe for tomorrow I may experience any other smell. But it's actually irritates me, When i am eating the taste is of the food but the smell, it's of something else. I don't know what to do. It's almost 19 days since I lost my smelling ability. But there is one thing I din't get sick or any other covid symptoms.
