Smell and Taste
Hi Dr,
I had been detected with covid in august,2020 and the major symptoms then was lack of taste and smell. Though my senses are back around 85% but even after more than 3 months it hasn't returned completely. I feel depressed. Do I need some treatment or it will come back on its own? How much time does it take?
Thanks

It will most likely return to normal in a month or two.. But don't pay very much attention to it.. It will cause you more mental trauma.. Don't specifically look for the symptoms.

Most likely it will come back on its own within the next 3 months. In the meantime :
1) Tablet Methycobal once a day.
Review again after 1 month.
