COVID 19: Most COVID 19 patients with anosmia recover within 3 weeks. The median time to have return of sense of smell is 7 days. However, for some people it takes many months. The sense of smell greatly effects sense of taste. When we can't taste food, it can take the pleasurable effects of eating away.
