Hello ma'am, this is something that is been seen in some people affected with covid. This will be ok with some more time, you can't do anything to restore this, if it is due to covid. I suggest you to consult an ent specialist to rule out other causes of your smelling issues. For a detailed consultation please contact me here on practo.
