M just here to spread positive vibes.. I lost my smell and taste 9 days ago and today I can smell and taste 100%.. so please have patience.. your smell and taste gets back.. don't freak out..
Hey have you tried a Vick’s vaporizer (literally just used it last night and it worked) well atleast maybe that’s what I feel like fixed it. Used it all night then this morning I can smell some stuff again
My Husband and I are on day 10, but have about 70% smell back and about 50% taste back. I'm never taking my smell for granted again. It scares me that we could have lost them completely.
I know exactly how most of you are feeling. Loss of smell was one of my first symptoms and like many of you, I was not only terrified but annoyed. I wasn't able to smell my lotions, cologne; NOTHING.. Thankfully for me, it returned after about 8 days, and I'm at about 65 percent, which is much better than not being able to smell a single thing like before. Give it time, it will improve. Stay positive, stay hydrated (peppermint tea with a hint of apple cider vinegar helped me) make sure to pray, and relax. It will come back.
This is sooo positive..apple cider and lemon infused water helps me aswell...can smell a fee things ..Prayer helps asnit keeps us Sane bcs we would be losing our minds really as thers nothing much we can do. God heal us all...remind us of how merciful u are🙏
Guys , take steam with ginger garlic and vicks vaporub 4 Times a day ,keep drinking anything which is hot with small intervals ,drink lots of boiled water! It has worked for I am slowly getting my smell back , it's my 3 rd day ! Have patience ,u will be fine inshallah ♥️
Just want to give everyone some hope. Because I was freaking out not being able to smell until a few days ago. IT WILL come back, trust me. For me it came back on the third week. It randomly came back and it was very faint at first. And every day it improves about 5%. Im probably at 20% atm, which isn't much but it's DEFINITELY better than 0. Atleast I know it's coming back and getting better. Please hang in there! I used to cry and have panick attacks not being able to smell. It gets better folks!! Be patient and watch it come back
It’s been two weeks and smell and taste have came back. Not 100% by any means but each day it is getting better. I can now smell most things if I’m close enough. And taste is coming back slowly but surely. Thank god !! I’m praying for all those who are still fighting this 💯
@@md1236 Ok so good news!! its back after 3/4 weeks , i must say its not 100%, its like 70% but im ok with that at the time being, some days its worst than others which sucks. But not to wrry it'll pass
How was your experience please I need to know. Day 3 I had feaver day 4 I lost smell and taste and now its day 5 n I have no sickness at all but I have no smell or taste like damn I'm having serious anxiety
@@crisrivers742 i didn't tested it. Whether it was covid or not but after coming from the mall at night i was feeling fever headace and cough. At day 3 my senses completly gone. Everything taste like water
@@crisrivers742 i tried green tea with lemon one spoon of honey ginger garlic in it. I took this tea 2 times a day. It helped me alot in speedy recovery. Get well soon
I saw a UA-cam comment a month ago, a woman said she used a Vicks Inhaler which helped her regain he sense of smell. So I started using one daily and I have to say it really improved my smell. Hope this helps someone!
People, just throwing you all some positive vibes. Here is how I lost mine and got back the sense of taste and smell. Day 1 to 4: Fever, tiredness, cough. ( sense of taste and smell suddenly disappeared on day 4) day 5 to 8: Literally 0 taste and smell.Everything I ate felt like rubber in my mouth. day 9: I felt like I've started gaining back my senses here. I'd say 5% was recovered. Day 10 to day 12: Day by day getting better. On day 12 today, I'd say 40% of taste and smell has returned. Things I took: 1. Paractemol during the days I had fever 2. Zinc, Vita c, D - Tablets 3. Ginger, lemon in hot water. 4. Hot water all day everyday. I hope I get back to 100% soon. :D
I am fighting COVID right now. I was diagnosed on Friday, June 26. My loss of taste and smell started a few days earlier, on Tuesday, June 23. It was a gradual decrease over about 2 days, until it was nearly all gone. However, over the past 48 hours both my taste and smell have come back. It's about 70% of my normal strength. I don't know if this is why, but here's how I have been treating my symptoms since Tuesday, June 23: Everyday I take one 50mg zinc oxide/citrate supplement, take 1 zinc losenge (ColdEeze) every 3 hours, and drink 1,100mg of Vitamin C (powder form, mixed into my Gatorade or water) 3 times a day. That's it. Plus plenty of water and rest. I can also say that I've have no fever or aches or nausea throughout my infection. I hope this helps people like me who are dealing with the loss of smell and taste.
Update: Smell and taste is back to nearly 100%. Each day is a little better once you notice it's beginning to return. I wish everyone struggling with it, good health and a speedy recovery.
@@jayalexflores5318 if you were negative, but are detecting a loss of smell and taste, consider anther test. In the meantime, my recommendations to supplement with 50mg of Zinc, 1100 mg of Vitamin C, and the ColdEeze losenges still stands. From what I understand the virus attacks the nerves in your olfactory system, causing the symptoms. The good news is that those nerves regenerate within a month to 6 weeks. And loss of taste and smell is usually indicative of a mild case of the virus. For perspective, I used my regimine and recovered some of my taste and smell within 5 days. My girlfriend had the same symptoms, didn't do anything, and didn't recover any taste and smell for 11 days. But we're both okay now. I hope you get better ASAP!
I went 9 days without my sense of smell and taste (I was tested positive) I took vitamin C, cod liver oil, Zinc and hot lemon and ginger tea with smelling essential oils and perfumes everyday
KEEP CALM Loss my sense of smell and taste last July 22 after having a fever. Now July 31, I am happy that I started to regain my sense of smell and taste but not a 100%. I noticed my sense of smell returning back on the 6th day and still improving up to this day. I did the olfactory practice but with lemon grass, cologne, and another perfume. I also did got steam inhilation during afternoon, drink a lot of water with lemon, vitamin c, enough sleep, gurgle Bactidol 2x a day and most of all prayers. It will comeback and it will take time, never got my self tested but I am working on a frontline and decided to isolate myself for 14 days. It will take time for your body to heal, keep calm.
Thanks a tons for sharing. After having high fever I too lost my taste and sense of smell I found that very rare cuz that never happened before I started to panic called medical helpline they suggested me to take multivitamin. So I isolated myself and monitoring my health. Still not yet completely recovered but Thank God I can now smell my body lotion and sunscreen ☺️ Praise God 🙏🏻
Man it has been 21 days since me and my family tested corona positive but still the smell and taste isn't 100%.We r getting only a slight smell and taste.
I lost smell yesterday 5 days back i got fever throat pain body pain within 2 days everything gone but smell iam 24 I taken only 2 paracetamol tablets till now
People if you can't smell or taste, try to relax, I know is hard, I lost my smell too, and I start getting back my sense of smell slowly after 1 week, and after 2 weeks exactly I was totally fine !, try to smell strong stuff like "rubbing alcohol" (first aid antiseptic), bleach, vinegar ...etc... to "wake up" your sense of smell, and slowly you will get it back !, try to relax please..! you will be fine, and also sometimes takes up to 5 weeks to get better...so let your body do the work, take vitamins !!!, help your body to recover..! all the best..!!! :)
I Lost sense of smell and taste, started to return with 30-40% intensity after 7-8 days, but I know friends that have been waiting for 2 or 3 weeks and during that time they had 100% smell and taste loss, so it's different for everyone. Just be patient people and don't freak out, I know it's terrible. It will be better, hang on and don't panic. God bless
It’s been 12 weeks for me! However, I found my nose was very irritated inside (without mucus) and no flavour to food... tastebuds are working... sweet salty bitter etc but nothing more. Cannot smell anything in the air, I have burnt a lot of food 😵 however I can smell very strong perfumes if I hold them right under my nose. I also feel like my brain is telling me I’m smelling and tasting foul things too, almost like I have a cavity (I know, gross) but I don’t
Hi everyone… Same for me pretty much… I’m going on about three weeks with no sense of smell or taste however… Mine goes in and out. It’s not 100% but sometimes I can taste a little bit. I have only been able to smell coffee one time for no reason at all I just could smell the coffee and was like wow it’s over… But the next morning I couldn’t smell or taste the coffee. Reese‘s peanut butter cups are my very favorite candy… I can taste sweetness on my tongue but I absolutely cannot taste any of the peanut butter at all I am not able to salt my foods properly so I have to be super careful. I am a cook and have been told I’m a good cook. Now… I’m afraid to mess up the recipes and ruin the pot so to speak. I had a dull headache for two or three days and I’m still pretty tired all the time. But other than that absolutely no symptoms
Lost my sense of smell after recovering from covid since 26 May , almost after 1.5 months I got it back from 5% to 70% today. Feeling blessed. for about a month I've been sniffing everything daily having strong smell like clove, garlic , lemon, camphor or anything having a strong smell . Massage your nose with oils , take steam with camphor in it . I hope everyone get their lost smell ASAP .
Little recap. Going on about a week now I'd say I'm about 85% well. If I have a cup of coffee I can smell it but the taste isn't all the way there. Thats for most of what I consume but still much better than day one. My anxiety has went down and I'm luckier than most. Please people stay well.
If you had covid and you lost the sense of smell, keep on sniffing things ALL THE TIME. (food perfume) try something that has a strong smell like lemon, basil, mint, and so on...it helped me a lot! Don't give up! It will come back.
Mines has been gone since March. Brian Allen the first NFL player who tested positive said his doctors told him he won't regain his taste and smell for 6-8 months.
@Slim Shady did your sense of smell come back when your other symptoms went away? Or did it longer for awhile after the rest of the symptoms were gone?
I was getting massive anxiety for the first time when I was getting a haircut the other day I never felt like I was so uncomfortable while sitting down getting a haircut.
People do not take your senses for granted. I know I will never again. I am five days in. Its hard but each day I feel better and better. I have hope they will return.
I just got my test back positive for covid and didn't even realize that I lost my sense of smell until my roommate mentioned how much the house smelled like bleach. I couldn't smell that bleach at all. I am scared mostly because how intrinsically smell is tied to emotions but I am hopeful that I will get it back and then never take it for granted again
I was positive for Covid-19 back in April. I lost my sense of taste and smell. Now they are not the same since they’ve come back. All bad odors smell the same like sour rotting fruit. Doesn’t matter what the bad smell is it all smell the same, trash, body odor, even certain foods have that smell even though it not spoiled. It’s driving my nuts. I thought I was smelly for weeks I kept trying to change my soap, and deodorant and nothing 😩 this sucks.
Im an RN wating for my swab result takes too long anxiety killing me i also lost smell and taste for 10days i cooked for my kids they said too salty we throw it 😭
reading these comments just gave me a massive wave of anxiety .. i lost my sense of smell & taste , it’s been 3 days & some of you guys are saying it’s been weeks 😭😭
i loss my sense of smell for 1 month, and after 1 month its at 60%. but it gets back when i put perfume on my hand and i smell it like every 5-10 mins for 1 week, and now my sense of smell is at 90% .
HF.M Ibrahim M I lost mine completely for 14 days , from day 14 till 21 (which is now) i kinda hardlyyyy smell perfume it comes and goes and every perfume smell the same , it is really depressing but i hope it gets better with time 💔
Are u covid patient r not .I suffer loss of smell and there is symptoms plz reply me I don't know now I am covid patient r not.its common symptom plz tell me any one
I jst lost my taste and smell and its been 4 days. And hav a mild fever, otherwise i m totally alright, no other symptoms. And not tested for covid. Now m scared about😖
Long story short- lost my smell Jan 1st. Jan 22nd it’s at 95% (maybe 100% but it’s hard to remember what it was like before). It very slowly returns. I did smell training, took a Zinc vitamin and anti-inflammation pills. Now I just take the Zinc pill since a week ago. It is fucking amazing to smell and taste again.
Hello there im from philippines. I just wanna ask if is it normal having these symptoms like loosing my sense of smell and taste without nasal congestion. I can breathe comfortably i just couldn't smell or taste properly. Hope can someone answer me, Goodvibes everyone take care and stay safe. Just pray let our god do the rest for he is our only savior always and forever amen.
I havent been tested sad to say beacause i need to support my family and just had to take care of some business in order to survive on our daily basis but im doing self quarantine at home right now and still have these symptoms but i recovered 15 percent of my senses i would say, but stil the same and im at day 9 of these symptoms. Hope not positive tho since i din't had fever neither dry cough which is the common symptoms but im isolating my self from my family to make sure.
I have a problem, every food smells so disgusting for me. I don't know how did I end up getting this type of smell. I lost my appetite and I only eat once a day since January. Even the milk smells terrible. Every food/liquid smells like rotten wet onion that soaks for one week😵 Help meeee i dont know what's happening to me, i don't know what type of smell disorder I'm experiencing right now, i might die very soon. Im so depressed, i don't know what to do. My parents don't believe and they think that I'm joking.
You may have Parosmia. This condition is no joke, and can be debilitating, so you need to take this seriously. Please seek treatment, as severe loss of appetite and anorexia may be a consequence. Smell training may be able to help restore a semblance of normality.
its gonna be a little bit long but hope u guys read my story im an ''athletic'' guy, i got sick like 2 weeks ago i think and it was from the AC, my room was hot af because i keep my PC always ON nd play games in it and i went to sleep in the living room where the AC is.. soo in the morning i felt a little headache and a cold, the next day the headache became soooo bad like i couldn't even move my eyes without my head hurts i didn't think its COVID at all because i was telling my self it was 100% from being sweaty and in a hot room to a cold room with AC ON so i automatically got sick, 4 days later the headache and the cold were both completely gone and thaaaaats where i lost my smell... like i literally can't smell anything even if i put my nose in a brand new hot cup of coffee .. nothing, its been like 5/6 days still the same ( i smell something i don't know what it iss and i can never explain it or describe it because it never happened ever in my life, its like a smell in my brain or something and its such bad smell it gets worse in the night time while in the morning i can smell a little bit of stuff like alcohol or fragrance that's all ) soo yeah i think i got COVID after all .. oh also i used to go out a lot and there's an open gym near me i used to go to so i think i catched it there or something, now im just forcing my ass off to eat food cuz i lost like 5kgs in 4 days because i couldn't eat without smelling the food. god it sucks to lose ur smelling buds stay safe guys i was one of people who didn't care about covid and thought its a government shit and they just playing with the numbers and all that.
Akram Aesthetics same here! It’s like your brain is trying to decide what you are smelling, so you’re sensing something but not actually smelling it? And it’s horrible, mine is like old oily fish and metal mixed together, very unpleasant! All I can eat is apples and tea with honey, everything else is gross!
Kerry Davies legit the same smell i have its like a rusty metal smell nd dirt I don’t know how to describe it but yeah .. im just forcing my self to eat, im eating like 6 meals a day
I' tested positive on July 10 th lost smell and taste a few days after I think on the 15th. Still don't have any senses back hopefully we all get it back.
Akram Aesthetics hey just wondering, how’s your sense of smell? Mine is still not back..... think it’s time to see a doctor as it’s been almost 7 months now 😩
This seems to be a really common problem here with Covid-19 - this used to be a very rare condition! You may have Parosmia - smell distortion. Like Anosmia (loss of smell), it is also a pain in the butt - in fact it can be more debilitating than anosmia, and can cause severe loss of appetite. You should probably report this to your physician. It may be treatable with "smell retraining".
Does it means of covid19? My husband lost taste and smell 2days back but now after taking vitamin c tablet he is able to taste and smell of about 50%. He have not tast covid as test kit is not sufficient,only needy people is doing covid test. But what to do now??
Lost sense of smell on the 14th of July and tested positive for Covid-19 on the 27th of July..Today is the 11th of August and I still can’t smell anything..Only thing I can smell is garlic..Not sure if it’s me smelling it or I’m smelling it coz I’m anticipating the smell of garlic..It’s going for a month (4weeks) without my sense of smell and it’s been the worst..I heard it can take up to 7weeks .. so let’s hope for the best.
I lost my sense of smell on one side and started manically sniffing things. Toothpaste, deodorant and pepsi cans were the three I kept messing with. I'd also sniff while I cooked and sniffed for bo because I wear natural deodorants so I do get stinky. It was the strangest thing I've ever experienced. Mine came back in a couple of days.
I’ve lost my smell and taste 5 months ago and I have like 20-30% back but not only that things smell different but I think it’s because I slowly getting it back. It can take weeks months and even up to 2 years to fully get it back or you might lose it permanent but that’s more rare
I lost my smell of sense completely after I get infected by covid 19 and it takes me like a month to smell again but not 100% Now I have like 5 months that my sence of smell it's not full recover I'm guessing that's it's like a 70 % WELL I CAN SMELL EVERYTHING BUT NOW SMELL WIRD ALL THINGS LIKE CLEANERS, LOTION, GASOLINE SMELL NASTY MY COLOGNE NOT SMELL LIKE BEFORE MY BODY SPRAY SMELLS WIRD LIKE PINESOL AND LOT OF THINGS SMELL THE SAME I HATE IT
I got it 2 months ago and still hasn’t come back, if it doesn’t come back I swear I might do something stupid this is so stressing..... I can’t smell shit I don’t want it to be permanent please god
You most likely did have covid-19 at one point . You probably just got tested after the virus had already left your body so that's why you were negative but the no sense of smell and taste is a lingering symptom of covid even after you are no longer positive
currently I only lost of sense of smell. It seems like the only thing I can small is things like hand sanitizer but it needs to be super close to my nose. I cant smell any foods or lotions/perfumes. I can still taste and no fever/headaches/chills. I truly hope my smell comes back soon
Can someone plzzz help me??? Like a few months ago my taste was gone like i could not even smell anything and could not taste and after 2-3 weeks everything was normal butt now again i got cold and flu but this time itsss soooo badddd like i can smell everything but taste is sooooo bad and iam tasting every dish or juice or whatever as the same and itsss soooo baddd like it's like i cannot say like the taste is of sweat😫😫😫😫 so someone plzzz help me and this time i don't know what will happen
You probably have Covid-induced Parosmia or smell distortion. This condition can be very debilitating, so you may need to get medical help, as it can lead to eating disorders - particularly anorexia.
My senses have been gone for 7 days now. I heard somewhere to practice smelling different items for about 20 seconds each (essential oils such as lavender or peppermint, coffee grounds, Vick’s VapoRub, etc.) and do this exercise at least 3 times a day. Then I remember a while back in class I learned something related to flavors and brain triggers; when you taste something unique or special, this can bring you memories from earlier on in your life. I know for a fact I still remember how coffee and Vick’s VapoRub smell like. I have a zip lock bag with Folgers ground coffee and try this smell exercise while intermittently drinking same coffee black no sugar... I “believe” this will help me in the long run and I’m holding to this belief because I can’t imagine not getting my senses back. On a good day if I was to put a number to my improvement I would say I have 10% of my smell back but then I go back to smelling nothing. Not losing hope though; good luck to everyone.
has anyone else lost your sense of smell and taste but instead of losing it completely I got a foul taste with food and a foul smell. it has been almost two months with this and I feel like I'm the only one. am I?
Experiencing this too, but only with coffee and mandarins. Smell is still completely gone and its been a month, can only smell coffee and mandarins but when i do it smells off!

I lost my sense of smell and taste due to sinus my nose is always dry its been years i forgot the smell of everything in this world i just eat when im hungry its not bcos of corona virus it just happened to me
I totally lost my smell and taste for 2.5 months. A family friend recommended that I use Vicks Vapoinhaler Portable Nasal Inhaler. I used it for 2 day and the smell slowly started coming back. And now I can smell and taste 90%. So if anyone has the loss of smell or taste please try the Vick inhaler! It helped me a lot!!
I got COVID back in August, it was bad, I lost my sense of smell & taste at day 4th, start feeling my senses coming back at day 11th but it was very very little I can barely feel it, then start improving until 1 month then it’s been on & off! Like WTH, then start smell cooking chicken like burning tires! Now some days good some are not 🤧

Guys, I caught the virus a month ago and I still don’t have my smell back, it’s been screwing me over so bad, no joke, I can’t write anything, and I don’t feel much emotions, it’s odd.
It's been 1yr and 5 months since I had covid and I still can't taste nor smell I dont want to live like this anymore it's so depressing and frustrating
I’m a chef, the ability to taste and smell is what my entire life depends on, and I can’t smell or taste anymore. I’d rather someone shoot me, amputate my legs, do literally anything to me than take this away from me, if my senses don’t come back, my life is over.
Day 6 for me no sense of smell or taste. Feeling real anxious about it. Some shortness of breath followed by a cough when I'm doing things. Also, tired on days 4 and 5. I just want my taste and smell back.
I lost my sense 5 months ago. 😥 Sometimes I'll smell a faint smell if it's very strong. My taste came back a week after getting sick back in July. Even then, some foods tastes wrong almost "rotten.' I promise you it's not. This is very depressing.
Few slices of garlic every morning,every 3 hours garlic ginger turmeric root boil for 5 min add lemon or lime juice and honey drink it when is hot,amazing results.Also vitamin C and Zinc twice a day.Keep smelling things in a house will be back 50-60% within a week. Good luck
I used to boil ginger with mint leaves..and drink like a tea and some use as steamer around my face..now 4days I can start smell again..&Oranges are one of my best fruits I enjoyed to eat coz I can smell fully
I am 23 yrs male . I lost my smell and taste sense from 5 months(2nd july 2020) on 18/10/2020 i visited a ENT specialist. He advised me to go with COVID 19 Antibody test.i have tested positive in that test.can i get my smell and taste sense back. i am worried about that it as been 4 months did not see any changes.can you please suggest me some medication which improve my nasal nerve and "can I get back my smell and taste sense back"
Thanks for sharing on this important topic! One way to try to get smell back is through Olfactory training! You can buy 4 essential oils: eucalyptus, cloves, rose, and lemon. Put 5-6 drops of each oil on water color paper and put the paper inside a brown or amber colored jar. Take short bursts of smell 2x/day for 20 seconds each time, for at least 4 months, and track the progress of your sense of smell. Hope this is helpful for people!
M just here to spread positive vibes..
I lost my smell and taste 9 days ago and today I can smell and taste 100%.. so please have patience.. your smell and taste gets back.. don't freak out..

I miss my sense of smell and taste never taking Tht for granted again, it’s been like 4 days..
Same ;(
Hey have you tried a Vick’s vaporizer (literally just used it last night and it worked) well atleast maybe that’s what I feel like fixed it. Used it all night then this morning I can smell some stuff again
My Husband and I are on day 10, but have about 70% smell back and about 50% taste back. I'm never taking my smell for granted again. It scares me that we could have lost them completely.
@@Beerelaxed what things did u done to get back?
@@MrHRDGAMER did u rubbed Vicks vaporizer at the nose?
I know exactly how most of you are feeling. Loss of smell was one of my first symptoms and like many of you, I was not only terrified but annoyed. I wasn't able to smell my lotions, cologne; NOTHING.. Thankfully for me, it returned after about 8 days, and I'm at about 65 percent, which is much better than not being able to smell a single thing like before. Give it time, it will improve. Stay positive, stay hydrated (peppermint tea with a hint of apple cider vinegar helped me) make sure to pray, and relax. It will come back.
This is sooo positive..apple cider and lemon infused water helps me aswell...can smell a fee things ..Prayer helps asnit keeps us Sane bcs we would be losing our minds really as thers nothing much we can do. God heal us all...remind us of how merciful u are🙏
Does it means of covid19? My husband lost taste and smell 2days back but now after taking vitamin c tablet he is able to taste and smell of bout 50%.
Guys , take steam with ginger garlic and vicks vaporub 4 Times a day ,keep drinking anything which is hot with small intervals ,drink lots of boiled water! It has worked for I am slowly getting my smell back , it's my 3 rd day ! Have patience ,u will be fine inshallah ♥️
Thank you
Thank you
Will this work ..u m too suffering from no smell n taste ..it’s almost two days can’t smell
How did it go?
Thank you
Just want to give everyone some hope. Because I was freaking out not being able to smell until a few days ago. IT WILL come back, trust me. For me it came back on the third week. It randomly came back and it was very faint at first. And every day it improves about 5%. Im probably at 20% atm, which isn't much but it's DEFINITELY better than 0. Atleast I know it's coming back and getting better. Please hang in there! I used to cry and have panick attacks not being able to smell. It gets better folks!! Be patient and watch it come back
How about now?
It’s been two weeks and smell and taste have came back. Not 100% by any means but each day it is getting better. I can now smell most things if I’m close enough. And taste is coming back slowly but surely. Thank god !! I’m praying for all those who are still fighting this 💯
update?

People, just throwing you all some positive vibes. Here is how I lost mine and got back the sense of taste and smell.
Day 1 to 4: Fever, tiredness, cough. ( sense of taste and smell suddenly disappeared on day 4)
day 5 to 8: Literally 0 taste and smell.Everything I ate felt like rubber in my mouth.
day 9: I felt like I've started gaining back my senses here. I'd say 5% was recovered.
Day 10 to day 12: Day by day getting better. On day 12 today, I'd say 40% of taste and smell has returned.
Things I took:
1. Paractemol during the days I had fever
2. Zinc, Vita c, D - Tablets
3. Ginger, lemon in hot water.
4. Hot water all day everyday.
I hope I get back to 100% soon. :D
concerns me bc i still have not had any fever
I am fighting COVID right now. I was diagnosed on Friday, June 26. My loss of taste and smell started a few days earlier, on Tuesday, June 23. It was a gradual decrease over about 2 days, until it was nearly all gone. However, over the past 48 hours both my taste and smell have come back. It's about 70% of my normal strength. I don't know if this is why, but here's how I have been treating my symptoms since Tuesday, June 23: Everyday I take one 50mg zinc oxide/citrate supplement, take 1 zinc losenge (ColdEeze) every 3 hours, and drink 1,100mg of Vitamin C (powder form, mixed into my Gatorade or water) 3 times a day. That's it. Plus plenty of water and rest. I can also say that I've have no fever or aches or nausea throughout my infection. I hope this helps people like me who are dealing with the loss of smell and taste.
Update: Smell and taste is back to nearly 100%. Each day is a little better once you notice it's beginning to return. I wish everyone struggling with it, good health and a speedy recovery.
Thanks for your response, and your update.
I tested negative but i lost my smell and taste is it dangerous 😷
@@jayalexflores5318 if you were negative, but are detecting a loss of smell and taste, consider anther test. In the meantime, my recommendations to supplement with 50mg of Zinc, 1100 mg of Vitamin C, and the ColdEeze losenges still stands. From what I understand the virus attacks the nerves in your olfactory system, causing the symptoms. The good news is that those nerves regenerate within a month to 6 weeks. And loss of taste and smell is usually indicative of a mild case of the virus. For perspective, I used my regimine and recovered some of my taste and smell within 5 days. My girlfriend had the same symptoms, didn't do anything, and didn't recover any taste and smell for 11 days. But we're both okay now. I hope you get better ASAP!
God bless you. 🙏
I went 9 days without my sense of smell and taste (I was tested positive) I took vitamin C, cod liver oil, Zinc and hot lemon and ginger tea with smelling essential oils and perfumes everyday
KEEP CALM
Loss my sense of smell and taste last July 22 after having a fever. Now July 31, I am happy that I started to regain my sense of smell and taste but not a 100%. I noticed my sense of smell returning back on the 6th day and still improving up to this day. I did the olfactory practice but with lemon grass, cologne, and another perfume. I also did got steam inhilation during afternoon, drink a lot of water with lemon, vitamin c, enough sleep, gurgle Bactidol 2x a day and most of all prayers. It will comeback and it will take time, never got my self tested but I am working on a frontline and decided to isolate myself for 14 days. It will take time for your body to heal, keep calm.
Thanks a tons for sharing. After having high fever I too lost my taste and sense of smell I found that very rare cuz that never happened before I started to panic called medical helpline they suggested me to take multivitamin. So I isolated myself and monitoring my health. Still not yet completely recovered but Thank God I can now smell my body lotion and sunscreen ☺️
Praise God 🙏🏻
Man it has been 21 days since me and my family tested corona positive but still the smell and taste isn't 100%.We r getting only a slight smell and taste.
I lost smell yesterday 5 days back i got fever throat pain body pain within 2 days everything gone but smell iam 24 I taken only 2 paracetamol tablets till now
People if you can't smell or taste, try to relax, I know is hard, I lost my smell too, and I start getting back my sense of smell slowly after 1 week, and after 2 weeks exactly I was totally fine !, try to smell strong stuff like "rubbing alcohol" (first aid antiseptic), bleach, vinegar ...etc... to "wake up" your sense of smell, and slowly you will get it back !, try to relax please..! you will be fine, and also sometimes takes up to 5 weeks to get better...so let your body do the work, take vitamins !!!, help your body to recover..! all the best..!!! :)
Thank you
I Lost sense of smell and taste, started to return with 30-40% intensity after 7-8 days, but I know friends that have been waiting for 2 or 3 weeks and during that time they had 100% smell and taste loss, so it's different for everyone. Just be patient people and don't freak out, I know it's terrible. It will be better, hang on and don't panic. God bless
It’s been 12 weeks for me! However, I found my nose was very irritated inside (without mucus) and no flavour to food... tastebuds are working... sweet salty bitter etc but nothing more. Cannot smell anything in the air, I have burnt a lot of food 😵 however I can smell very strong perfumes if I hold them right under my nose. I also feel like my brain is telling me I’m smelling and tasting foul things too, almost like I have a cavity (I know, gross) but I don’t
Same here....I'm scared
Now??????
Everything will be good
Hi everyone… Same for me pretty much… I’m going on about three weeks with no sense of smell or taste however… Mine goes in and out. It’s not 100% but sometimes I can taste a little bit. I have only been able to smell coffee one time for no reason at all I just could smell the coffee and was like wow it’s over… But the next morning I couldn’t smell or taste the coffee. Reese‘s peanut butter cups are my very favorite candy… I can taste sweetness on my tongue but I absolutely cannot taste any of the peanut butter at all I am not able to salt my foods properly so I have to be super careful. I am a cook and have been told I’m a good cook. Now… I’m afraid to mess up the recipes and ruin the pot so to speak. I had a dull headache for two or three days and I’m still pretty tired all the time. But other than that absolutely no symptoms
I can’t smell strong perfume. That scared me
Lost my sense of smell after recovering from covid since 26 May , almost after 1.5 months I got it back from 5% to 70% today. Feeling blessed.
for about a month I've been sniffing everything daily having strong smell like clove, garlic , lemon, camphor or anything having a strong smell . Massage your nose with oils , take steam with camphor in it . I hope everyone get their lost smell ASAP .
Did u take n e medication i lost my smell its my 5th week im worried
How many days it takes to recover fully
I loss my sense of smell over a month now and it came back only about 5% smh
@@KibaJovanni did you get your taste and smell back ever? I just started going through this nightmare.
Day 1 I could not smell anything. Im on day 3-4 and its slowly coming back better than day 1.
Me too
Little recap. Going on about a week now I'd say I'm about 85% well. If I have a cup of coffee I can smell it but the taste isn't all the way there. Thats for most of what I consume but still much better than day one. My anxiety has went down and I'm luckier than most. Please people stay well.
I lost mine week of march 16th. Now i have a horrible taste in my mouth, like metal or sulphur. Still no other tastes
I am the same. I noticed it in March. I was tested negative 2 weeks later but 2 months later I still have loss of taste. Still eating.
I had that same taste, it went away but I still have no sense of smell
I was diagnosed with COVID-19 on July 6th and still have it. No taste and smell :(
@@rafaelcarrasco2092 dude how are you now? I just lost my sense of smell I think 4days ago. I'm freaking out. When will I get to smell again?
Michelle Molano it will come back ,I lost mine a few weeks back but after 2 or 3 days it slowly started coming back
After 4 days coming back slowly
Mine haven’t at all
@@aynjul same here its been 5 or 6 days. This sucks ALOT
If you had covid and you lost the sense of smell, keep on sniffing things ALL THE TIME. (food perfume) try something that has a strong smell like lemon, basil, mint, and so on...it helped me a lot! Don't give up! It will come back.
I don’t feel alone anymore I lost mines yesterday
It will come back before you know it .Try eating hot spicy foods and keeping your nasal passage clear
Did it come back , I just did two days ago I’m scared
I lost it 2 days ago. Along with taste as well. Very anxious rn
Same here day 3 no taste or smell
I lost it 3 month ago
It’s been 8 weeks since I’ve had CoViD19 and my sense of smell is 90 to 95% gone. I’m honestly losing hope.
Yes I believe more and more people are going through this.
Did it come back mines gone too
@@realistmw how long has yours been gone? Can u taste or smell anything at all?
Mines has been gone since March. Brian Allen the first NFL player who tested positive said his doctors told him he won't regain his taste and smell for 6-8 months.
I’ve lost my smell n taste for almost 2years! Sinusitis
It is the weirdest thing, I hate it. I’m on day 7 and it has not came back
Im on day 5 and its not coming back, do you have some other symptoms? I feel like mu nose is on fire when im breathing in...
Mines too. I'm not liking this at all.
Plastična same here. It burns everything smells like bleach
Mines came back after 2 days.
Do you have any medicine
I'm here because I have this symptoms.
@Slim Shady did your sense of smell come back when your other symptoms went away? Or did it longer for awhile after the rest of the symptoms were gone?
Slim Shady me too, did it comeback
I have 100% no sense of smell for 6 weeks now. I feel like it’s gone for ever.
My house could be burning down and I would not smell a thing
God Bless you, don’t worry it will come back
garlic,coriander leaves, ginger,onion
Mixed them all up and boiled them with water and drink daily 2-3 times
It’s been 3 weeks now without smelling anything. I’m getting worried now 😐
One month. I can smell at like 15 percent ... I’m so sad
Arredondo Valerie please keep me updated with how your doing I’m going through something similar
I lost my sense of smell for 5 days, havent done tests for covid, feel dizzy and lightheaded... alot of anxiety also
I had these symptoms and tested positive
I was getting massive anxiety for the first time when I was getting a haircut the other day I never felt like I was so uncomfortable while sitting down getting a haircut.
Have u got it back???
It’s been 5 weeks for me. Cheesecake tastes like nothing. My life is over.

update
Mine too bro mine too
People do not take your senses for granted. I know I will never again. I am five days in. Its hard but each day I feel better and better. I have hope they will return.
Did it come back?
I just got my test back positive for covid and didn't even realize that I lost my sense of smell until my roommate mentioned how much the house smelled like bleach. I couldn't smell that bleach at all. I am scared mostly because how intrinsically smell is tied to emotions but I am hopeful that I will get it back and then never take it for granted again
I was positive for Covid-19 back in April. I lost my sense of taste and smell. Now they are not the same since they’ve come back. All bad odors smell the same like sour rotting fruit. Doesn’t matter what the bad smell is it all smell the same, trash, body odor, even certain foods have that smell even though it not spoiled. It’s driving my nuts. I thought I was smelly for weeks I kept trying to change my soap, and deodorant and nothing 😩 this sucks.
How u know hun
Someone described the smell in those exact words rotten fruit , what about now though
Im an RN wating for my swab result takes too long anxiety killing me i also lost smell and taste for 10days i cooked for my kids they said too salty we throw it 😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂yeah im waiting on my COVID test swap results smh. I have a stuffy nose but other than that only
No sense of smell or taste
reading these comments just gave me a massive wave of anxiety .. i lost my sense of smell & taste , it’s been 3 days & some of you guys are saying it’s been weeks 😭😭
omg I just went to get tested today because I noticed I lost my sense of taste and smell . this is scary
Hows it now?
@@emailfam how are you feeling now?
i lost mine today and i’m super scared, but i’m feeling fine...
Mine started recovering after 2 months
i loss my sense of smell for 1 month, and after 1 month its at 60%. but it gets back when i put perfume on my hand and i smell it like every 5-10 mins for 1 week, and now my sense of smell is at 90% .
I hope mine comes back as well, I lost it 100% and it is really depressing
HF.M Ibrahim M I lost mine completely for 14 days , from day 14 till 21 (which is now) i kinda hardlyyyy smell perfume it comes and goes and every perfume smell the same , it is really depressing but i hope it gets better with time 💔
Are u covid patient r not .I suffer loss of smell and there is symptoms plz reply me I don't know now I am covid patient r not.its common symptom plz tell me any one
chinni annaveni u have to make a pcr test and see , was ur loss of smell sudden?
I hope I don't have to wait that long but I'm glad you got yours back. Been about 6 days for me
I jst lost my taste and smell and its been 4 days. And hav a mild fever, otherwise i m totally alright, no other symptoms. And not tested for covid. Now m scared about😖
I though i lost my smell and taste at first, but i tasted lemons…i was wrong.
Hopefully I regain mine 🙏 i try hot sauce i can smell it just a little everyone try something strong like hot sauce wing sauce
Did you recover fully?
This is crazy I’m 16 and a week later my taste and smell is back 100% It was an interesting experience
yeah just like me
its a mild case
I’m scared I got covid cause just recently today my taste and smell just suddenly decreased and I’ve had a cold for the past week
How can one distinguish between loss of smell due to Covid 19 vs loss of smell due to nasal chemical burn/ irritation from an alcohol based sanitizer?
We got the same question dude
Flu also causes the loss of taste and smell too. Let's make that very clear.
Long story short- lost my smell Jan 1st. Jan 22nd it’s at 95% (maybe 100% but it’s hard to remember what it was like before). It very slowly returns. I did smell training, took a Zinc vitamin and anti-inflammation pills. Now I just take the Zinc pill since a week ago. It is fucking amazing to smell and taste again.
God bless you all who are suffering from those fever ....you all be ok ...God bless you all🙏
Hello there im from philippines. I just wanna ask if is it normal having these symptoms like loosing my sense of smell and taste without nasal congestion. I can breathe comfortably i just couldn't smell or taste properly. Hope can someone answer me, Goodvibes everyone take care and stay safe. Just pray let our god do the rest for he is our only savior always and forever amen.
Same with me. Have you been tested?
nawalan ka ba ng panlasa saka pang amoy?
nagpa test ka ba ng covid?
I havent been tested sad to say beacause i need to support my family and just had to take care of some business in order to survive on our daily basis but im doing self quarantine at home right now and still have these symptoms but i recovered 15 percent of my senses i would say, but stil the same and im at day 9 of these symptoms. Hope not positive tho since i din't had fever neither dry cough which is the common symptoms but im isolating my self from my family to make sure.
Hmm is it possible to re-lose your smell? After 16 days both my taste and smell was started to weakned again
Schampo smells rotten, meat smell like bark. Taste is fine doe
I’m going into 7 months and my smell and taste hasn’t came back 100 percent. It has been altered. I’m sad I hope this isn’t permanent
Do you get smell now ? I lost its 2 months now
God bless you :(
I have a problem, every food smells so disgusting for me. I don't know how did I end up getting this type of smell. I lost my appetite and I only eat once a day since January. Even the milk smells terrible. Every food/liquid smells like rotten wet onion that soaks for one week😵 Help meeee i dont know what's happening to me, i don't know what type of smell disorder I'm experiencing right now, i might die very soon. Im so depressed, i don't know what to do. My parents don't believe and they think that I'm joking.
You may have Parosmia. This condition is no joke, and can be debilitating, so you need to take this seriously. Please seek treatment, as severe loss of appetite and anorexia may be a consequence. Smell training may be able to help restore a semblance of normality.
My sense os smell came back after 4 days
Do you take any medicine
I’m 16 it’s been a week and i can only taste 25%
Georgi Gonzalez same man did your taste get back
Lost my sense of Smell/Taste on Friday. Tested positive for Covid on Sunday. Tuesday morning and still the same, this sucks!!! 😬
How about now?
You feeling good now🤔
its gonna be a little bit long but hope u guys read my story
im an ''athletic'' guy, i got sick like 2 weeks ago i think and it was from the AC, my room was hot af because i keep my PC always ON nd play games in it and i went to sleep in the living room where the AC is.. soo in the morning i felt a little headache and a cold, the next day the headache became soooo bad like i couldn't even move my eyes without my head hurts i didn't think its COVID at all because i was telling my self it was 100% from being sweaty and in a hot room to a cold room with AC ON so i automatically got sick, 4 days later the headache and the cold were both completely gone and thaaaaats where i lost my smell... like i literally can't smell anything even if i put my nose in a brand new hot cup of coffee .. nothing, its been like 5/6 days still the same ( i smell something i don't know what it iss and i can never explain it or describe it because it never happened ever in my life, its like a smell in my brain or something and its such bad smell it gets worse in the night time while in the morning i can smell a little bit of stuff like alcohol or fragrance that's all ) soo yeah i think i got COVID after all .. oh also i used to go out a lot and there's an open gym near me i used to go to so i think i catched it there or something, now im just forcing my ass off to eat food cuz i lost like 5kgs in 4 days because i couldn't eat without smelling the food. god it sucks to lose ur smelling buds stay safe guys i was one of people who didn't care about covid and thought its a government shit and they just playing with the numbers and all that.
Akram Aesthetics same here! It’s like your brain is trying to decide what you are smelling, so you’re sensing something but not actually smelling it? And it’s horrible, mine is like old oily fish and metal mixed together, very unpleasant! All I can eat is apples and tea with honey, everything else is gross!
Kerry Davies legit the same smell i have its like a rusty metal smell nd dirt I don’t know how to describe it but yeah .. im just forcing my self to eat, im eating like 6 meals a day
I' tested positive on July 10 th lost smell and taste a few days after I think on the 15th. Still don't have any senses back hopefully we all get it back.
Akram Aesthetics hey just wondering, how’s your sense of smell? Mine is still not back..... think it’s time to see a doctor as it’s been almost 7 months now 😩
This seems to be a really common problem here with Covid-19 - this used to be a very rare condition! You may have Parosmia - smell distortion. Like Anosmia (loss of smell), it is also a pain in the butt - in fact it can be more debilitating than anosmia, and can cause severe loss of appetite. You should probably report this to your physician. It may be treatable with "smell retraining".
Does it means of covid19? My husband lost taste and smell 2days back but now after taking vitamin c tablet he is able to taste and smell of about 50%. He have not tast covid as test kit is not sufficient,only needy people is doing covid test. But what to do now??
Lost sense of smell on the 14th of July and tested positive for Covid-19 on the 27th of July..Today is the 11th of August and I still can’t smell anything..Only thing I can smell is garlic..Not sure if it’s me smelling it or I’m smelling it coz I’m anticipating the smell of garlic..It’s going for a month (4weeks) without my sense of smell and it’s been the worst..I heard it can take up to 7weeks .. so let’s hope for the best.
Did you get it back
Like others here, you may have Phantosmia, a perception of smells that don't exist.
I got my smell.100. and taste 60 to 70 percent today
I had covid-19 in July and I still haven't regained my sense of taste and smell.... It's very frustrating....I don't know what else to do.
Its scarey its been 4months for me 😪
2 months now for me!
@Marlena Hayes. Did you ever getbit back
I lost my sense of smell on one side and started manically sniffing things. Toothpaste, deodorant and pepsi cans were the three I kept messing with. I'd also sniff while I cooked and sniffed for bo because I wear natural deodorants so I do get stinky. It was the strangest thing I've ever experienced. Mine came back in a couple of days.
Lol maniacally.
Any other covis symptoms?
I’m so happy yours came back fast🙏🏽
Same
Haha I smelled everything, even the toilet lol. Perfume, dirty clothes 😂 Zero.
Today is Oct 1 and I haven’t been able to smell since august
I’ve lost my smell and taste 5 months ago and I have like 20-30% back but not only that things smell different but I think it’s because I slowly getting it back. It can take weeks months and even up to 2 years to fully get it back or you might lose it permanent but that’s more rare
I lost my smell of sense completely after I get infected by covid 19 and it takes me like a month to smell again but not 100%
Now I have like 5 months that my sence of smell it's not full recover I'm guessing that's it's like a 70 %
WELL I CAN SMELL EVERYTHING BUT NOW SMELL WIRD ALL THINGS LIKE CLEANERS, LOTION, GASOLINE SMELL NASTY
MY COLOGNE NOT SMELL LIKE BEFORE
MY BODY SPRAY SMELLS WIRD LIKE PINESOL AND LOT OF THINGS SMELL THE SAME
I HATE IT
I got it 2 months ago and still hasn’t come back, if it doesn’t come back I swear I might do something stupid this is so stressing..... I can’t smell shit I don’t want it to be permanent please god
I use to be able to smell a little bit and taste a lil but now I can’t smell anything
@@L0ADING.. 2 years? you can't claim that, no one knows the long term effects of COVID.
My sense became very low yesterday, and today it is like completely gone
Took two covid tests came back NEGATIVE yet going on almost 3 months with loss of smell only I can taste just fine 😭😩
Is it back
You most likely did have covid-19 at one point . You probably just got tested after the virus had already left your body so that's why you were negative but the no sense of smell and taste is a lingering symptom of covid even after you are no longer positive
How.long i need to wait for my taste gets back and smell
Forever
2 weeks
I want to taste and smell!!! 😩😭
M not covid patient ,but I loss my sense of smell...
Hey! I got my sense of taste and smell back after 7 months I lost it thanks to Dr Ehisz on UA-cam. he will help you too;
Is being 5 months && I still haven’t got my sense of smell 😞
What about now?
currently I only lost of sense of smell. It seems like the only thing I can small is things like hand sanitizer but it needs to be super close to my nose. I cant smell any foods or lotions/perfumes. I can still taste and no fever/headaches/chills. I truly hope my smell comes back soon
Any update??

Try Vicks Vapoinhaler Portable Nasal Inhaler. I had no smell or taste for 2 months. This helped get my smell back in 2 days. Now I am 90% recovered
You probably have Covid-induced Parosmia or smell distortion. This condition can be very debilitating, so you may need to get medical help, as it can lead to eating disorders - particularly anorexia.
My senses have been gone for 7 days now. I heard somewhere to practice smelling different items for about 20 seconds each (essential oils such as lavender or peppermint, coffee grounds, Vick’s VapoRub, etc.) and do this exercise at least 3 times a day.
Then I remember a while back in class I learned something related to flavors and brain triggers; when you taste something unique or special, this can bring you memories from earlier on in your life. I know for a fact I still remember how coffee and Vick’s VapoRub smell like.
I have a zip lock bag with Folgers ground coffee and try this smell exercise while intermittently drinking same coffee black no sugar... I “believe” this will help me in the long run and I’m holding to this belief because I can’t imagine not getting my senses back.
On a good day if I was to put a number to my improvement I would say I have 10% of my smell back but then I go back to smelling nothing.
Not losing hope though; good luck to everyone.
Any update?
has anyone else lost your sense of smell and taste but instead of losing it completely I got a foul taste with food and a foul smell. it has been almost two months with this and I feel like I'm the only one. am I?
Experiencing this too, but only with coffee and mandarins. Smell is still completely gone and its been a month, can only smell coffee and mandarins but when i do it smells off!

Hi guys i have lost my smell i feel different smell even when i smoke a cigarette i feel bad taste
I lost my sense of smell and taste due to sinus my nose is always dry its been years i forgot the smell of everything in this world i just eat when im hungry its not bcos of corona virus it just happened to me
Is your nose dry or dry and stuffy / running etc? Consider looking into functional medicine if so. We've helped people to improve this at our clinic!
I totally lost my smell and taste for 2.5 months. A family friend recommended that I use Vicks Vapoinhaler Portable Nasal Inhaler. I used it for 2 day and the smell slowly started coming back. And now I can smell and taste 90%. So if anyone has the loss of smell or taste please try the Vick inhaler! It helped me a lot!!
could you please give more details on how you have used it, how many times a day

I got COVID back in August, it was bad, I lost my sense of smell & taste at day 4th, start feeling my senses coming back at day 11th but it was very very little I can barely feel it, then start improving until 1 month then it’s been on & off! Like WTH, then start smell cooking chicken like burning tires! Now some days good some are not 🤧

its been 2.5 months since i had covid, and my smell barely came back. i got some of my sense of smell back, but its hardly what it was before :/
R u improving?
Guys, I caught the virus a month ago and I still don’t have my smell back, it’s been screwing me over so bad, no joke, I can’t write anything, and I don’t feel much emotions, it’s odd.
Is it backup now
Hello, I'm currently taking Alternative Herbs I started getting my sense back after applying for day 8
It’s been 8 days since I recovered from all my symptoms I’m slowly getting my smell and taste back but it’s still not strong
Lost taste and smell for a week. Food tasted like cardboard and couldn't even smell bleach. Dont panic your senses will return.
It's been 1yr and 5 months since I had covid and I still can't taste nor smell I dont want to live like this anymore it's so depressing and frustrating
It's been 3 week's and I still have no taste and smell hopefully it comes back soon
I hope you got it back
i started the 'cough' 7 days before smell went bye bye.
I started coughing 2 days before I lost my taste and smell 😔
It's been 7 months since I got sick, still no sense of smell, I'm about 50% back with taste.
I’m a chef, the ability to taste and smell is what my entire life depends on, and I can’t smell or taste anymore. I’d rather someone shoot me, amputate my legs, do literally anything to me than take this away from me, if my senses don’t come back, my life is over.
Can you smell and taste now
@@nicholeperez3003 I’m going on 2 months now, and no, I cannot.
Day 6 for me no sense of smell or taste. Feeling real anxious about it. Some shortness of breath followed by a cough when I'm doing things. Also, tired on days 4 and 5. I just want my taste and smell back.
This my second day with no smell or taste. I've had Corona for about 6 days.
Has it gone away?
Update
Can you smell now ?
Can you smell now
Please reply any one
Any update??
This video is depressing
Very much !
I lost my sense 5 months ago. 😥 Sometimes I'll smell a faint smell if it's very strong. My taste came back a week after getting sick back in July. Even then, some foods tastes wrong almost "rotten.' I promise you it's not. This is very depressing.
Hi are you tested covid positive? Im experiencing the same as you. I just want to get my senses back and feel normal.
@Brenda Flores can you update us. Did you recover?
Is there any treatment of loss of taste and smell ?
no, I don't think so
Yes try grean tea with honey a small amount of ginger garlic and lemon in it.
olfactory training covid there oil bottles
Few slices of garlic every morning,every 3 hours garlic ginger turmeric root boil for 5 min add lemon or lime juice and honey drink it when is hot,amazing results.Also vitamin C and Zinc twice a day.Keep smelling things in a house will be back 50-60% within a week.
Good luck
I used to boil ginger with mint leaves..and drink like a tea and some use as steamer around my face..now 4days I can start smell again..&Oranges are one of my best fruits I enjoyed to eat coz I can smell fully
Mine is back 50% on day 12. It gets better guys. Most people get it back, have hope.
Is it more than 50% now??

Not even parfume or alcohol

Thanks for sharing on this important topic! One way to try to get smell back is through Olfactory training! You can buy 4 essential oils: eucalyptus, cloves, rose, and lemon. Put 5-6 drops of each oil on water color paper and put the paper inside a brown or amber colored jar. Take short bursts of smell 2x/day for 20 seconds each time, for at least 4 months, and track the progress of your sense of smell. Hope this is helpful for people!
