When recovering from covid will your taste eventually come to 100 percent ? i mean just as good as before covid . any treatment for it?

Covid and taste: Taste and smell can take some time to return to normal. Currently all indications suggest that these should return 100% although we still get reports from patients that they are not 100%

Anosmia.: Most COVID 19 patients with anosmia recover within 3 weeks. The median time to have return of sense of smell is 7 days. Not everyone gets full return of their sense of smell. Zinc/copper/magnesium supplements have been used, but don't use intranasal zinc. Acupuncture may also be beneficial.
