Good day guys.
It's 1 week since I got tested for Malaria,Typhoid and Hepatitis B and C. Results came out positive for Malaria and Typhoid, but negative for the hepatitis. I immediately commenced treatment for both diseases (Malaria and Typhoid) which lasted 3 and 5 days respectively.

Fast forward to yesterday morning, I got up and headed to the bathroom to brush on getting the brush into my mouth, I discovered that I couldn't taste anything. I waved it off as a mild condition. I didn't even think of it twice. I sat down to you know but I couldn't perceive anything, I felt maybe because of the fruits I took the previous night. I still didn't feel bothered.

I finished and got ready for work. Feeling too tired to make spaghetti for work, I branched the Mama-Put for some spicy stew and rice. I put the food to eat, lo and behold I couldn't taste the stew nor the rice. I panicked and drank water and asked the waiter to pack the food.
I got out my disposable gloves and mask and immediately put it on and paid her taking caution not to allow anyone touch me nor handle any item I just touched. I went back straight home, called my boss to inform him of the possibility of everyone in the office contacting the Covid-19.
I have contacted the NCDC and I am awaiting their arrival today as they said they couldn't come yesterday. And I don't want to drive there alone.

Same happened with my bro recently but He's fine now.

Truth is, that's the corona virus you've been hearing about. But don't worry, You'll be fine.

No need to worry yourself, many people had similar symptom

If you care to listen, I had same symptoms about 2months ago

Funny enough, I didn't use any drug & the stuff lasted abiut a week n some days but I fully recovered!

Relax your mind but if you have other symptoms then don't wait to call NCDC again

Congratulations, you are recovering from the Corona virus.

What you are experiencing is post-viral anosmia.

Did you take drugs for the malaria and Typhoid. Most Malaria and Typhoid drugs have loss of taste as side effects. You won't taste anything.

Oh dear...there is. Most especially the very strong Antibiotics. Next time you buy a drug, kindly read the SIDE EFFECTS. It's helps. Even some mild drugs have chronic side effects. And our immune system responds to different drugs side effects at different times.
