Talk to General Physician on Loss Of Taste And Smell

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Male, 25 years old, Karachi

dear doctor sahab,

I got covid positive in June first week and got isolated for 15 days. Alhumdulillah got recovered from covid but one issue i faced was loss of taste and smell. Spice tolerance changed from 100 to 0 as i cannot eat spicy food now. I had good spice tolerance since childhood and usually ate spicy food.

in these 4 months I have recovered 20-30% of my smell and 50% of my taste but still i cannot eat anything spicy at all. Not even little spicy.

Please suggest something as its very difficult to live like this. I had lost 12 kgs in these 4 months due to stress and loss of appetite.
