: I assume you don't smoke. Long term loss if smell &amp; taste has occurred after covid infections. Other possible causes are nervous system disorders,nasal pathology, paranasal sinus disease, diabetes, certain medications. I recommend consulting an otolaryngologist for evaluation &amp; appropriate testing.
