I was not able to smell or taste anything for 2 weeks after I was tested positive for covid. During those two weeks, I did steaming daily and also took Vitamin C and Zinc tablets which were really effective. During the third week, I was able to smell strong smelling substances like deo, nail polish, camphor, etc and I got my smell and taste back gradually. It's been a month now and both my senses have been restored back to normal. I can smell and taste 100% now 😊 . Wishing everybody a speedy recovery 😁

I have dealt with my loss of smell in two batches...one for six months and the other for five months. I know how depressing it can be to endure the loss of one of your senses. My best advice is to remain patient. My loss of smell was tied to allergies and inflammation as well so although my nerves were repairing, the odorant molecules could not make it to where they needed to go due to being blocked on the way. I have since recovered my sense of smell and I can honestly say I will never take it for granted again. Don't let your mind bring you down when you go day after day being let down that you can't smell the things you once enjoyed. Just like working out, your sense doesn't come back or improve immediately. Everything is a gradual process. Follow the instructions from your doctor and eventually you will start to notice a small scent, then those moments will become more frequent until one day you wake up and realize you can smell coffee and the world around you. Keep focused on healing and healing will come.

[@StrideWarrior]

I lost my sense of smell completely on April 30th while battling Covid. Basically I couldn't smell anything. Zero Scent. No matter how hard I breathe in or put something close to my nose.. nothing. This obviously made everything I tasted become bland or horrible. I decided to pick 4 things to smell for the week - 2 scents I hate, and 2 I love. Every day I would smell these 4 things multiple times throughout the day. Finally today on May 5th, I am starting to smell again. One of the scents I hate was the one I smelled first. And shortly after, started to smell the rest of the scents. In case anyone is wondering - the 4 scents were: Rubbing Alcohol - I hate An anti-fungal cream I used in the past for ringworm - I hate (I smelled this first) Strawberry Jam - I love Eucalyptus Spearmint - I love. Food tastes normal already even though my smell is weak, but I expect it to get back to full strength eventually. Hope this helps. I will check in periodically to update everyone.

Thanks for sharing on this important topic! One way to try to get smell back is through Olfactory training! You can buy 4 essential oils: eucalyptus, cloves, rose, and lemon. Put 5-6 drops of each oil on water color paper and put the paper inside a brown or amber colored jar. Take short bursts of smell 2x/day for 20 seconds each time, for at least 4 months, and track the progress of your sense of smell. Hope this is helpful for people!

Second time around that I lose my sense of smell due to a covid infection. Last time it took 6-8 weeks to recover some decent level of taste and smell. Not sure how long it will take this time. 3 vaccines and still got this crap. I normally have a very very good sense of smell, and I got it back to my sense of normal after the first time, which took 3-4 months (subjective perception and memory of what very subtle scents I could pick up during my lifetime before the loss). Still, I'm glad there are videos like this that give some decent understandable facts that leave me feeling hopeful.
