I Can't Smell and Taste

2 Replies

Hi,

I have lost my smell and taste and I'm freaking out. I took covid tests twice and it's negative. I tried the the breathing treatment and it didn't work. It might be a sinus affection. My mom is going to set a doctor's appointment. I hope it's not serious or it could be a sinus affection. I hope I get my smell back/

Morning! Please don't worry; I lost my taste and smell for more than a year and every time I got a cold! It may be nasal polyps or your sinus infection. Nasal douching may help with a salt/bicarb solution. Always helped for me! It will come back so don't stress! Philippa 🤗
