Regarding meaning of taste loss and smel
I am a covid recovering person and it's been around one and a half month since I was tested covid negative.
From last two three days I am feeling the urge to clear my throat and when I do so .. colour less sputum comes from throat.
Also sometimes I feel that I am feeling less taste of food I am eating. My sense of smell is fine.
I want to know that when we say loss of taste in covid does it mean loss of feeling sweet sour salty or loss of feeling the characteristic taste of food.
If I am feeling less taste...do I need to test again for covid or it is seasonal allergy.
Request all the respected doctor s to clarify this doubt.I am very anxious

It's take time to recover from loss of taste. Some people take days to recover. Some people even take months.
