No good answer: Not enough experience with covid to tell you. The good news is that you are recovering and that your taste and smell are returning. No one knows at this point whether you will fully recover, but it sounds good that you will continue to recover. Not everyone recovers the same.

COVID 19.: Recovery of loss of taste or smell may take weeks to months. If you have low Vitamin D levels, it has been suggested that Vitamin D supplements may be of benefit.

100% loss of smell and taste on day 6 of mild Covid infection. I cook for a living and Im terrified this will not come back?! I keep reading about people who never get it back. What is the actual likelihood of that? This is my first time with Covid?
