My taste and smell has not returned

A myCOVIDteam Member asked a question 💭
Cape Town, ZA

I got COVID in August 2021 and smell and taste has been distorted since. Things that we were once delicious are now revolting. I am unable to smell perfumes, fried foods, coffee and a lot more. Does anybody have advice?

Thank you for the feedback Linda. Can I inquire if some the distorted smell you have is related to perfumes and coffee
