A member asked:
I'm on day 4 almost 5 of covid (fully vaccinated with boosters). day 3-4 i notice i can't taste or smell. i'm still bit congested nasally. im worried. i hope it isn't long covid and i get my senses back. how likely will i get it back soon?

Typically, if taste and smell are affected by Covid, they will return but it does take a while. Other symptoms seem to normalize faster than the return of taste and smell. There is no treatment that will allow taste and small to return faster, unfortunately. There is no set time period in which they return-it really does vary from person to person. Hopefully, yours will return soon. Good luck!

I have covid-19 (vaccinated). I am on day 4 of infection. I dont have fever for over 32 hours (no meds taken) but since day 3 my nose started to get pretty congested and oximeter was 99% now 97%. Is it a bad sign? When can I stop isolation?

I had covid back in Dec. 2020. Very mild only loss of taste and smell no other symptoms. Today I woke with a stuffy nose and slightly scratchy throat. Can you get covid twice and if so, how soon after initial diagnosis? Could this be allergy or cold?
