May God help us..I have been working in Lagos for the past three to 4 weeks in Lagos and I noticed this also since last week...no sense of taste or smell and this feeling of malaria bit not the usual type.I have energy but feeling cold.no cough or catarrh.. Work involves crowded place.I thought I was the only one not until I and my brothers and friends had a short break to travel for the Muslim festival and we only saw that day to drink and eat the ram we killed..over 24 of us all had anti malaria drugs in our purses and bags..every one was treating malaria for those three days codedly..

We are back in Lagos working and the taste thing is just coming gradually to me sha and cold getting milder.

May God sha help us..

Can't be coincidence every one individually went to different shops to purchase drugs cos of the unwell feeling.

@op it's covid19. At the moment, I have lost smell sense too, and food doesn't appeal, with some other malaria symptoms.

I never thought much of it, but my brother who is regaining his gradually now, went for test at Lasuth on Saturday, they just replied him with his result now and he's positive.

We have all been taking anti malaria treatment both herbs and drugs in the house.
If this matter were to be more than this, even the government can't handle it. Today is Thursday and test was conducted on Saturday, Result just got to him. Out of five people in my house, I'm sure 3 already has/had it. The one who went with my tested positive brother was nt tested because they said they were only expecting one person. So test is by "pre order".
Now, if we rely on them for treatment, imagine what would have happened between Saturday and now.

My advice, everybody should start treating malaria at home especially with hot herbs. Take (fruits, NCDC recommended this sef) eat well. People on their own are overcoming it without knowing. I am able to confirm because my brother was tested.
We have pass the stage of fear, let's brace up and fight it with everything possible, this thing is plenty outside now, more than what they are reporting. Don't wait for them to come treat you, it might get out of hand.
God help us.

This simply shows you are still moving around with old knowledge of Corona virus.

VickyRotex:
If you feel/believe you, your family, and other people you know are infected with Covid19, whether you're recovering on your own or not, please isolate for the required number of days.

There are cases where people recover but still able to infect others because of the long incubation period of the virus.

Btw, I believe there are other things other than Covid that can cause collective loss of smell but if you cant test, then isolate as much as possible.

Try to update your knowledge of the virus.

11 days after being down with the virus, it cant be contacted from the victim anymore.

This is why isolation centers now release anyone in lockdown in their centers for over 11 days.

I'm experiencing the same thing after treating malaria. The same with my sister, we both lost the 2 senses and we dont even know the real taste of what we've been cooking and it's been over a week. Some food taste really salty, some just blanch, yesterday I had sore throat and decided to get benylin for wet phlegm and septrin and this morning I could smell my damp clothe. I could just imagine if I didnt take a whiff of that smell and wore that smelly dress to office cry cry.
Well done. For going to the office with your symptoms and possibly infecting others.

I was not taking it seriously because he doesn't hold me down. Another day I couldn't feel taste of food and same time I can't smell anything. I got some herbs, cook and take when it's hot. Just few days later I can perceived and taste food.

Mr. new Knowledge undecided

Did I even mention number of days? Or is 11 days not a long incubation period compared to a normal cold that runs for 3 to 4 days?
Please next time read to understand ooo. I no vex! undecided

It appears loss of sense of smell and taste is a very good prognostic marker for survival and a marker of mild disease.

You got to know these how...this is the misinformation that keep derailing gullible folks, having gone through the experience doesn't make anyone immune, prevention and safeguarding oneself is the answer.

So I should believe you instead experts abi? How do you want me to believe your assumptions as fact?
Re: Who Else Has Lost Sense Of Smell And Taste? by Daysbaba(m): 7:58pm On May 28, 2020
Nothing to be afraid of. About 3 weeks ago I experienced same, when I complained to my friends, more than 10 people said same thing,.
I think most people who make use of the surgical nose mask had same thing, though not sure.
My recommendation, continue to use your nose mask and get treatment for malaria adding chloroquine and antibiotics.

I'm wowed... That's exactly what I'm going. Feeling feverish, totally lost my sense of smell and taste but I'm gradually regaining it back. It's been over two weeks and I've been on malaria medication but there's been a great improvement in my sense of smell and taste compared to early last week. It's kinda funny seeing lots of people going through this same shit I'm passing through but I'm glad we're getting healed with or without medication...
Funny enough, within the space of two weeks, everyone in my dept (about 11 of us) have been experiencing this but I'm glad they're all fine after taking malaria medication. Everyone is totally healed.

Before the first lock down started, I rushed through 2 different big markets in and around my state. During the first week of lock down I developed serious cough, terrible sore throat, that I can't swallow anything. Before I Knew it my 72 year old mum started her own and my 11 year old son. I was scarred to death. To prevent others I cut onions and filled the whole house. I started boiling dogoyaro leaf and covering with it. I drank hot scent leaf water. I treated malaria and typhoid. After about 2 weeks all of us became well. As in very healthy. My mum recovered faster than me. Though she is not the sick sick type. It could be ordinary malaria but bcoz Coro in in town, fear wanted to kill me.

Malaria has nothing to do with sore throat or cough. U don overcome covid-19
