COVID testing: One of the associated findings in COVID 19 is loss of smell and taste. Other causes may be related to nasal congestion, a sinus infection or allergic reaction. Drink fluids, rest, monitor your temperature and use nasal saline spray to open the nasal passages. Consider screening for COVID 19 infection with a PCR nasal swab for SARS CoV 2 detection. Please follow up, virtual consult available.
