COVID: Please have a COVID PCR and Serologic test. Your initial and current symptoms maybe related to COVID.

Covid-19: This absolutely sounds like symptoms one would have with the Coronavirus that is pandemic in the country right now. We are still learning about the virus and after effects from it. It is impossible to predict when your sense of smell will return, if ever. With regard to throat and shortness of breath, you need to see your primary care physician ASAP as there may have been damage to your lungs.

COVID-19: Loss of smell and taste is very typical for COVID; if the illness started now six months ago, it is unlikely to turn up positive except on antibody testing (and maybe not even then). The sensitivity to cold and the irritability of the lungs can last longer and is a nuisance but should not be dangerous to you.
