I have never heard of this after effect from COVID. You could have a skin or bowel problem. See a dermatologist or a gastroenterologist for a possible reason.

Is it normal to feel out of sorts while ill with Covid? I have a very mild infection however I do feel bizarre, feels like my skin tingles and gets a little numb at times, and my smell and taste is way off. Im not as sharp mentally. Is this normal?

Why does everything smell and taste like trash, like rotten cabbage. Could it be a sinus infection or possibly covid. Iv had the smell since before Christmas?
