Did you run a malaria test?
.

no but I'm fully recovered stronger but the smell and taste is not yet back

hstar:

Na lie I swear, dem spray out house with powerful insecticide of which on a normal day, no body will sit inside for one second without running out, I lost my tasting and smelling sense last two weeks and them spray our house with these insecticide I no even know, only for some to come inside the same house I dey and rush out instantly owing to the strong smell of the insecticide.

He now asked me that didn't I know the house has been sprayed, I told him I know perceive anything

Let rat die and decay. If you don't smell then you lost it finally

oh gosh mine started since saturday last week... I'm still yet to recover.. lost both the sense of smell and taste, I thought it was a common thing with cold or malaria and I've been taking Malaria and typhoid drugs.

Me n my brother suffered same... Though we don't live together... His malaria was +3 n now his wife got +2... Me I nor kuku do test, cos d malaria just attack me once... After English medications, senses of smell n taste never return from Salah break, na we use agbo take retrace e step... D type u cover wit duvet n d pot in d middle, u use turning stick take dey stir am... Worked so well, then we boil another n drank... Na so taste n smell senses take return...
I go drink mineral, I go dey find sugar taste lol.. so bad

I also lost my sense of taste and smell sometimes ending of March, coupled with malaria. I treated malaria and I was fine.
My wife and 5 year old daughter were with me during this period and they are both fine

I have been there,but am fine now.



It was really scary when i read about symptoms of covid 19 and it was exactly what i feels.

hstar:

Alright, I would stick to that.
But please do you have evidence for this or its just ur thought?

Of course there's evidence. Feel free to do some research on your own.
Here's something from Google tho:

"It makes circulation sluggish and has no role in removing toxins or waste material from the body.It has no beneficial effect in cold or cough. In fact it can irritate the throat, aggravating cough or cold. Hence it is advisable to avoid cold water in case of flu or other infections "

In my own assumption,

I think the frequent use of face mask limits the fresh supply of oxygen to the brain.

(face mask encourages higher level of carbon dioxide in the blood due to its incapacity to expel Co2 fully while wearing the mask)
This in return limits the optimal functioning of our sensory organs which needs more oxygen than co2.

I lost my sense of taste and smell too for like four days, I guess is Malaria. Thank God is normal now.

czarr:
Almost everyone in my family and church have lost their sense of smell and taste and recovered recently....which is a symptom of corona virus.

Are we all infected and recovering on our own?
after all there is a 98% recovery rate.

i too lost sense of smell but i do still taste i must say it was scary as f***

wesley80:

Could you just shut up? Thank you.

You need to keep your fingers off that phone you borrowed from your mum with its freebasic data to bump into my post. Idiot!

I recently recovered from this by drinking water directly from the well

Yxxx:
Interesting thread

Indeed. NCDC is really not doing well.

drezzyx:
That shits happened to me for four days i couldn't smell nor taste anything i had to isolate during those period but my sense of taste and smell are back stronger than before.

And that was the first in my life that i lost both senses.

Unlike malaria where i lost sense of taste or catarhh sense of smell.

Go near market gutter.
If you can't smell anything, then you're still sick.
Just check.

I had typhoid and malaria last week which was severe infact I took 2 cards of malaria combo and Cipro before I recovered and up till now I have not recorvered my sense of smell though I base in jos

Same with my wife, though we thought it was signs of early pregnancy. I gave her Monkey sugarcane to snack on and she regained her sense of smell and taste that very day. She's stronger now with no symptoms.

Swingate:
Fellow Nigerians, the coronavirus is upon us as we speak,it is sweeping through like an ocean wave and nothing can stop it as if moves through, it will carry the weak and the sick, some will survive and some will not.
Let us brace ourselves for the impact, this is not about curfew and nose masks or believing it exists or not,. This is about our immune system and good luck,.
I wish everyone the best of luck and a healthy ready immune system, I also pray for the souls of those that won't make it and those who have already gone an external rest plus forgiveness.

Rephrase it...some will fall unfortunately, but many will beat it.

EzzyCarter:


Aunty, there's nothing like 5G mast, the regular network masts you see around can have 5G antennas installed on them without any fuss. All the engineers need to do is mount the 5G antennas on an already existing mast, bolt it and connect it to a power source. That's all.
Don't expect to see any dedicated mast for 5G in Nigeria. By the time 5G comes into Nigeria (If it already hasn't) most Nigerians won't even be aware

Watch this video of 5G implementation. Phone & mast. And see for yourself that 5G involves the installation of even MORE masts closer together to overcome obstacles. That 5G microwave must be unobstructed to really get into your phone and increase speed.

Don't gather in church, but you'd stupi.dly still go ahead to do so...

we have a whatsapp group where we communicate, we do not gather oga. but thanks for the insult anyway

martineverest:
if care is not taken,second wave of infection will occur......Nigerians need to believe there is corona in naija

Inasmuch as I agree with you, my mind keep telling me that the first wave is not potent enough compared to US and Europe, why should the second wave be scary

However, the rain is here, I don't know if corobaby will now have significant impact on our immune systems.
This is my fear now!

NwaIgboBoy:


thank God .
but how long did urs last and which medications did u take .?

it lasted 2 weeks. I didn’t take anything, though I took paracetamol to relive the headache...now my friend that lives with me also have same symptom...

KC031:
As a pharmacist, I have encountered such complaints from more than 10 clients,deep inside me,I know they might have contracted it but they will always rebuke it whenever I try bringing it up.So,understanding the psychology and religious fanatics among our people, I will give them Good supplements for immunity boost and high strength vit C not forgetting to encourage them to go for testing and observe necessary precautions and almost all of them if not all are doing perfectly well.

*Modified*
God is actually helping us here in Africa coz going by what is obtainable in UK,US n recently Brazil, we all would have been in for a long thing by now and the open drug market whereby one can conveniently walk in to a pharmacy get whatever supplements and medication one wants is a big advantage to us unlike strict measures applicable in somewhere like US.

Then you should be a fake pharmacist. Pronouncing someone a covid-19 carrier without proper testing.


Your license should be seized.

When the truth of the situation comes out, then you change your mind again.... funny people

I lost sense of smell and taste too for about 14days.
My gf caught it too but hers was brief.
After much various concoctions, inhalers and catarrh tablets, I recovered.

It was bad... I couldn't even smell my perfume and my tongue only had salt and sugar taste at very low sense level.

kponkedenge:


Bro, that's malaria, that's not Covid-19. If Covid-19 hits, you'll definitely know the difference. Don't let anyone deceive you that you just recovered from Covid-19.

In the meantime, keep protecting yourself from the real virus and practice your social distance.

sure i am just curious but if it persist till next week am dialing the hotlines asap make i go follow chop the money small.

I thot i was the only one, mine started since 3weeks ago and am still experiencing it till now.

No. There is no recovery for you. It is over. Write your will now.

johnmattew:
have u ever had catarrh that made u lose it sense of smell and taste?...think about it.

u are having mild symptoms of Corona..stay away from ur parents and people with underlying sicknesses like hypertension, diabetes,HIV etc

SO YOU ARE SAYING THAT I WILL SOON DIE? my brother I'm so scared right now...

I feel same way after treating typhoid and malaria

How did you know you have malaria and TYPHOID? Did you run a test?

eleojo23:

@ the bold,
Don't be afraid.

People with the symptoms are more than what I would have expected
