Oh ok,
I guess its within 14 days

Did ur siblings take anything to recover the smell ?


Mine is 5 days now, still have 0% smell , can't smell anything, I mean anything.......


Can't wait for this to be over
Mine was about two weeks. I couldn't smell literally anything. Took the strongest scenting item and put it to my nostrils I couldn't perceive. Taste was like 10%
I had stuffy nose all through
But then I recovered. Didn't take anything apart from Vitamin C

No sickness is ordinary till it hits you so badly. Mine was almost 2weeks. I treated it with ginger, garlic and bitter kola mixture in a Plastic can. It got restored 2 days upon medication. Before then, I was taking procold and the rest but no sign of changes. It was indeed a terrible experience.

Had same a month ago. No sense of smell or taste, like 0%. Fever, runny nose but no cough or shortness of breath. Was excessively weak for days.

Ginger, garlic,clove and lemon grass tea helped. I should have tried the hot steam inhalation thing.

Let me register mine here... completely lost my sense of smell around January, I was stunned because I've never felt that way before. Also, it was so rampant in my local town that late Dec/Early January. Some lost both senses. Most churches and families had those symptoms about the same time. I had a mild malaria and treated it and after about 5 days, I had my sense of taste back.

Of course our guess was covid but no adequate testing/treatment facility. We're all fine now btw.

I have lost my taste and smell senses too and it's been like this for like a month now. in fact yesterday I was even taking a drink and was wondering why it tasted so different until I now remembered what I was going through then I calmed down.

if it's covid, then maybe I won't be too surprised cos the Italian index case in Nigeria passed through my company when he landed at Lagos airport.

health wise, so far, I have had malaria which is another symptom but I have recovered from it and am doing fine right now

the only precaution I have been observing so far is not going to visit my elderly relatives as I don't want to be the source of their infection.

presently I take a lot of this our local herb called dongoyaro which is very effective for curing malaria
How many day did it take you to recover

Even me sef I've been down for 3days now. I can't smell shit. Could this be happening due to changes in weather or our China is here fully??

Wah abt taste? My taste is like 5%. 0% smell.
What medication are you using? I’m really scared. My kind of work requires all your sense organs functioning 100%. I never even got to ave any baby, so I can know what they smell like embarassed cry ..., i’m really scared!!!

Please Help

For the past two days I have been experiencing loss of smell and taste. I can't smell anything, the food I cook, the perfume I use, my baby's poo as in I can't smell anything.Everything I have been eating have no taste.

What could be the cause and what are the likely home remedy to solve this issues please. Afraid of Covid so I literally can't go to the hospital.
