Hello. So a couple days ago I started feeling typical symptoms of being sick, body aches, a lot of pressure in head/headache, irritated throat with coughing etc. I feel a lot better now and think most of it is gone, but just yesterday I woke up and realized my sense of taste and smell were gone.

But the weird part is I don't feel congested or stuffy or anything like that, my nose is clear, I can breathe through it just fine, and I thought usually you lose your taste and smell when your sinuses and nose are all congested and plugged up.

So I'm just wondering if anybody has any knowledge on what might be the problem, and any ways I can help get them back. Thank you!

Well it could be but I don't think I have covid. Like I said I had the typical symptoms of just being sick for a few days and now it's pretty much all gone and I feel completely better other than just the loss of taste and smell.

Get tested and isolate while you wait for results. Please don’t expose others.
Thanks for this!

Both rapid test results came back negative.
