Loss of taste and smell
Hi
Since a couple of days I lost my taste and smell, and before this I had mild cold (no running nose at all and recovered from cold in a day). Even if I'm corona positive and have no other symptoms, home remedies like steaming, drinking warm water, lemon juice, and proper diet if I take then no medicines are needed right?
I have no fever/cold, just only lost taste and smell.
Please advice.
Thanks!

Take steam thrice a day and take a healthy diet if you have no other symptoms. Loss of smell and taste are common side effects of Covid.
