Had covid Jan.22-mild symptoms, I guess

Lost taste for a couple of weeks, came back , though

Starting mid to late summer, taste and smell got weird. At first I thought i was giving off the smell

Come to find out,even though i taste/smell underlying things, it still smells?tastes like garbage

ENT said its covid and to try aroma therapy. Anyone with a similar problem?

I was told to eat oranges to help with the taste. It seems to work Ok but still not 100%

I tried the aroma therapy, but for me it just took time. I will say that fighting through the taste and continuing to eat/drink things that I disliked made the taste for those things come back faster. Example, toothpaste and mouthwash to me were terrible, but I just kept using then and my taste for those came back way faster than things like coffee/beer which I just quit drinking.

It took like a month for toothpaste and mouthwash to taste normal using every day. Took like 1 year 3 months for Coffee to come back just naturally.
