Hi there
Loss of taste and smell sensation sadly is a common finding with covid patients.
In most of patients these two sensation return after a week or so but in some unlucky cases this loss is temporary and irreversible.
Next Steps
Try steam inhalation for a week with budecort respule two times a day and if doesn't resolve seek consultation.
