For those of you that had Covid, how long did it take you to get your sense of smell or taste back if you lost it? I got tested a couple of days ago and am still waiting on my results. The loss of smell and taste is the only symptom I have, but it is completely gone, so I’m thinking I will test positive. I haven’t been able to smell or taste going on about 4 days now. I know everyone’s body reacts differently, but I’m just looking to get some input from people with personal experience.

I'm at about two weeks without smell. Got about 75% of my taste back

It was about 10 days for me. I coughed for 5 weeks. Still fighting fatigue after 3-1/2 months of recovery.

Bury your face in your significant others arse. If it don’t stank you got the COVID. If it stank you are back to normal.

Mine came back in about 3 weeks.

My wife (no pics) still doesn't have her smell or taste back from early March. She says everything just smells sour to her.

This is your chance to eat all of the bad-tasting healthy foods you hate.

Never got tested but I coughed for 5 weeks and completely lost my voice twice back in February/March. Also for 2-3 days my mouth had a taste like I was sucking on a nickel. Smell got weak and still is to a degree. I'm an RN who has tested hundreds of people. They offered me the test a month ago but I felt fine. Didn't see the point then.

My cousin has caught covid like 4 times. It’s true what they say about it doesn’t build immunity. When he gets it he’s bedridden like a real bad flu and he coughs and has cold sweats and diarrhea. He goes to the doctor and they give him medicine and he gets better but when the medicine runs out he catches it again. He has fibromyalgia so he’s immunocompromised. The doctors have been treating him with OC 80s and he says that’s what works best. I don’t know why trump doesn’t look into this treatment

You should go to one of those places and eat the super crazy hot wings that you get for free if you eat them all. You won't even know they are spicy

We have a new employee that had to wait 14 days before onboarding because he tested positive, his only symptom was completely losing taste, he was never sick.

He said he got it all back in about a week

Either you are old or have underlying medical conditions.
