Same as the flu.
Chicken soup does not help you recover. It's for return to normalcy. When taste and smell are muted by cold or flu, the saltiness of chicken soup is more likely to be tasted, and then will help you feel like you're getting better.
I remember getting my taste back as a kid, after the flu. Everything I could finally taste made me more excited to keep getting better.
Most things came back fast, but it took almost year before I could smell Tuna Fish. AFAIK that was the only thing. It was weird, and yet kinda nice lol.
I didn't catch it. No sense of taste or smell for about 2.5 years now. I just got used to it and went on. Finally started a regimen of ivermectin. Still nothing.
My spouse and I lost our taste and smell for a couple weeks, everything tasted metallic. A pharmacist friend told me to use a nasal spray until smell returned and could taste again. We did Flonase morning and night - it took about 4 or 5 days to return but some things still smell a little off 7 months later.
Never got the BS flu, no shot. just about everyone I know that got the shots....got "covid".
Took me about 3/4 months to fully regain my sense of smell/taste.
i haven't regained my sense of smell and it's been over a year since i was sick. not sure if it was ChinaFlu or not... i didn't and won't get tested.
I can smell when i take a shit and faintly smell my cologne, but other than that I can't really smell anything.
Food tastes ok but something's missing.
I'm with you two years later foods ok but, still not the same.

It slowly came back over a few months. Supposedly Ivermectin can speed that up though.

I lost smell, could still taste basic things like salt, sweet, sour. It came back rather suddenly several months later.
It was a good 3 months before I started tasting food again. Smell was fine though
No, but certain nasal sprays cause it.
If they contain zinc.
I lose my sense of taste and smell every time I use Tylenol. When I stop, it returns.
Anyone still not able to smell or taste after 2 years? Suggestions beyond what is provided below?
You are probably deficient in zinc and Vit D, take Vit C too. Use ION sinus spray.

Flonase is garbage. Use ION sinus spray, it restores the sinus microbiome.
Maybe so, it was just for a week or so and seemed to do the job. Not regular users.
