You need to be retested for Covid-19. It is not uncommon to have a false negative test. Your symptoms are quite consistent with Covid-19 infection. By my experience, if you have problem with smell and taste, Covid-19 disease is rarely severe, especially for a woman.

An evaluation is indicated. If you have been vaccinated and are without fever, COVID 19 is less likely, but still possible. One negative test, depending on the technique and timing may require a retest. Other causes should be considered, an imaging study could provide more information. Discuss sinus saline rinses, mold allergy test and environmental history with your physician or with Healthtap.
