any viral infection ( even a common cold) can cause loss of sense of smell and taste in some people. Certainly in Covid 19 infection it happens more frequently. Usually this heals spontaneously and recovers over time. unfortunately there is no medication to help with this. Definite recovery will happen but can take time, sometimes even months.
Next Steps
consult an ENT surgeon to assess the degree of loss of sense of smell and assessment fo your symptoms.
Health Tips
plain steam inhalation 2- 3 times a day can help in the early stages to a certain extent
