Asking for Self, Female, 23 years old, Karachi
When I was 7 months pregnant I got flu and cough then suddenly I felt that I am not feeling any smell or taste ... Covid test done and the report came negative.. now my son is 3 months old Ma shaa ALLAH and still no taste no smell ? What could be the reason ? What should I do ? Please guide
self isolation . mask use. hand hygiene. inflammatory markers . false negative test can be there
if this loss of sense of smell and taste is so prolonged then it comes under post covid syndrome..which means that you had covid which had left some residual damage. no need to worry it will recover spontaneously
if covid pcr negative u kust lot of Sream

Dnt worry at all... U will be automatically find after couple of months. Only take steam daily for 5 mints.
Any upper respiratory infection can cause loss of sense of smell and taste which is often shortlived.This is because of damage to olfactory cells which detect smell.SARSCoV2 is the most common cause of neuronal dysfunction in times of current Pandemic.But viruses like influenza,Parainfluenza,picorna viruses ,can also cause damage to nerve cells.It may take upto 6 months to recover .After 6 months the chances of recovery lessen.
