I think it's what we've had, didn't test for it, but the worst was the first few days. Now I have a stuffy nose and the worst thing is the nearly absolute loss of smell and taste. I can't stand it. I have Ive paste, but I guess I started it too late? The rest of it isn't bad at all, and I can live with it, but loss of smell is claustrophobic to me. I hate Fauci.
Get a steroid nasal spray as well, like nasacort or Flonase - this may help the histamine response in the sinuses thought to be responsible for loss of smell. I completely lost my smell for one full day, then it gradually started coming back….. I too felt very claustrophobic/ panicky about it. Praying yours comes back quickly.

I know. That happened to me too. It will come back.
All 5 in this house had it during Christmas. Only my wife and I lost our sense of smell.
I still can't smell or taste coffee, citris, or pasta sauce. And garlic smells like gasoline. The wife is completely fine now. 🤷♂️

Ooh!! Thank you for the recommendation! My sinuses are just stuffy. I have nothing to blow out of my nose.
While I'm sorry you had to deal with it too, I'm glad I'm not alone in the panic! ;)
