Complications: At this point, you are starting to recover, and need to pay attention to superimposed bacterial issues, such as potential sinus or throat infections. Your sense of smell involves the "helper" cells in the olfactory apparatus, and these will recover over a period of 3-4 more weeks at most.

Covid: Your symptoms, in particular loss of taste/smell, indicate Covid. There are treatments available. Please contact your General Physician for guidance.
