Loss of smell post covid.
I got covid on 27 April. It is almost 3 months now.
I lost my smell back then, the covid infection it was mild and was there only for two days. However my smell hasn't returned
I even went to an ent, who gave me onacortil, ebas 20 and fluticasone for 5 days
And then for 10 days
From last one month I get one particular weird smell in everything. Is it a sign that things are improving?the intensity of this smell keeps decreasing and increasing
Is it possible to loose smell forever due to covid?
