Try taking Benadryl.

The last time I had the complete loss of taste/smell was back in 2000 something (can't remember) but I remember that I couldn't even taste Diet Coke and most of the food. The only thing I could taste was Mountain Dew so I drank that for about 3 months. I hate the taste but at least it was better than tasting NOTHING at all. I was young and naive so I didn't think to just drink water instead.

Anyways, out of the blue, I finally got my sense of taste and smell and I don't know how or from what but it just came back.

The reason why I mentioned Benadryl is because that's what I've been taking for my allergies and for some time now, I wasn't able to smell anything. I can still taste but it doesn't give me the sense that I'm tasting it in full, just "partial". So I started taking Benadryl and finally I'm able to smell and taste stuff than before.

Yesterday I went into the store and looked around, and wow, it was a flux of smells from everywhere -- laundry detergent, rotisserie chicken in the oven at the deli area, cheese and many more, to the point where it was almost giving me an headache.

So I don't know if that will work for you, but if you do decide to start taking Benadryl, keep on it for at least 2 weeks because that's how long it took for me to finally regain my sense of smell fully.

Keep in mind, I don't know if I had the 'Rona. Never got the PCR test for it and don't even know if I was around people who have/had it. I'm feeling fine but it was just that I wanted to take Benadryl due to me forgetting to take Benadryl around the fall time as I usually have allergies so I thought to go ahead and start now. I also knew it was an inhibitor of Covid so...

I take the store brand version of Benadryl because if you buy Bendaryl (the name on the box), it only gives you like 10-20 pills, but the store brand one have like 100-200 in a bottle and is cheaper than the Benadryl boxed version.
