Since morning, I cannot smell anything. Had mild cold (congestion, sneezing and runny nose) 2-3 days back. Yesterday I felt fine, but today morning I've lost smell. What should I do? I've isolated myself in the room.

Good that you isolated as a precaution.. Get yourself tested and accordingly either continue or break ur isolation after 5 days.. Another thing to be noted is that loss of smell can happen in any acute rhinitis or common cold.. Need not always be covid.. So get tested and if negative then treat it as common cold.. If positive then treat as covid.. Consult online for further evaluation and treatment
