Recovery time for loss of smell n taste
I was feverish on the 4th of August (99.1) took one p750(discontinued cuz I felt much better) and Azithromycin (discontinued in two nights cuz of acute gastric), fever is not there since with an average temperature not exceeding 97, on the 7th of August I lost the sense of smell and taste, but today(9th August) I could taste again(not fully..but like 70% of the overall food) but sense of smell is totally absent..I have isolated myself and am currently taking Levocet (once per day), vitamin C once per day, steam with Vapor plus 3 times a day .. apart from.this I have nasal congestion and nothing else. How long should the isolation be done?
