What to do if COVID-19 kills your taste, smell

[skateata]

The world is so dull wothout taste and smell

[essaitch]

TAKE A ZINC SUPPLEMENT!! My sense of smell/taste started coming back the next day. You’re welcome.

[darrininverarity]

I guess the danger anyone forgot to mention is you can’t smell a gas leak or smoke, you’re welcome.

this is useless, how you u train smell if you cant smell anything

I just got COVID last week and I completely lost my taste and smell I’m so sad

My sense of taste and smell is just dulled a bit. I can still taste and smell things. Oranges are still very potent.

Bro no one believes me but I had covid last year in September and I haven't got my taste or smell back ever since 😂

I just caught covid in hospital while I had been admitted for something else, and my taste buds are all over the place. I can’t taste sweet things. They just taste metallic or not sweet at all. I had an ice block (popsicle) the other day but it didn’t taste sweet. I also have some problems with savoury items. Not all, just some. Eating has become a chore. I just eat because I have to.

I can taste all the basics like sweet, sour and salty but I can’t taste specific flavors.

I can't smell what used to be a strong scent of jasmine. Now there is not smell for jasmine, citrus, cider, coffee... and a lot more. 😢

There are women that became pregnant of having cov-19; they had lost their taste & smell. Then they came back things didn't taste or smell the same. The name given is Parosmi a. I'd this safe for pregnant women?

Inhale your spices?! Sure if you wanna choke on the little particles! 🤦🏻‍♀️
I’ll keep trying my essential oils. A superb surgeon who just did a sinus surgery on me, along with 2 root canal removals and wisdom teeth cavitation surgery to clean them out, all because of debilitating, chronic health issues I’ve had for years, told me to do Eucalyptis steam inhalation. I will be doing this every day along with smelling other essential oils and hope to God I get it back soon. I’ve been without smell and taste for 3 F’n years and this is getting REAL old and so very frustrating!! 😣😭🤬

I am recovering from suspected covid (no test, but all the symptoms) right now, summer 2024 and have lost almost all smell and taste. I am still rather stuffed up and congested. Anybody got an idea how long these symptoms may last? I fell ill last week, was flat out complete with fever, no eating for two days, sore everything. Maybe I am impatient but I really love my smell. Any tips appreciated! I only ever had tested covid before (2022) and it was very mild.

Sense of taste and smell isn’t the same works on off since Covid snd covid n Covid shots 2021. Sometimes I n can’t taste anything, smells tastes changed and are intolerable too.

I did the orange thing and ended up eating it as meals because I couldn’t eat anything eles because I’m full of orange. But it’s only temporary. And the video is useless without telling what spices and ingredients to train

[chasegetswork]

Everything taste like vinegar or chemicals

[floridarealtor]

Did she just sniff up 😮the spice bottle cap

[weekendnomad]

I’m so self conscious that I will smell bad even though I have good hygiene. All I smell is bleach but no one used any. I’m so sad that I can’t smell my baby and my mouth tastes like soap

Dr Gutierrez is attractive. Thanks for your guidance!

[outroseok]
