Recovery time: It may take a few weeks or even months for your taste and smell sensation to return to normal. Keep a log of your symptoms, and a virtual consult with Healthtap is available to review these findings. Watch for signs of recurrent COVID 19 infection including fever, cough and shortness of breath. If these signs occur, have another COVID 19 screening test.
