Lingering symptom: The loss of taste may return in weeks or months after the initial infection. More is being learned about this particular symptom, but re infection has also occurred. If you develop other symptoms such as cough, fever and fatigue, additional testing is advised. Drink fluids, soothing liquids and rest.
