No smell or taste weeks after sickness
I got a viral infection possibly went to a sinus infection, then to bronchitis five weeks ago. Most symptoms are better now but I have lost my smell and taste. I can only get scant smells of certain things and only taste distorted flavors of salt, sweet, sour. Also my voice is not right, very week, hoarse. Normal to lose smell and taste a few days but not five weeks? What is wrong? Will I get my senses back?
