Can be related: Besides a fever, another common symptom is loss of sense of smell from covid. No one knows to the extent that your sense of smell will be affected. Usually a good sign for recovery is your symptoms of comes and goes, nothing is definite but with all viruses, drink a lot, tylenol or aspirin.
