A member asked:
I still can't taste or smell after 6 months of testing positive for covid! any recommendations for something to get that back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consider : Usually this lasts several weeks and less commonly 3-4 months but some have far lengthy issues. You could try zinc supplements and perhaps add a B-50 complex, vitamins C and D. Perhaps ENT doctors have experience restoring loss of smell which is the viral target
