How long for taste and smell to come back?

[BitchIAmFromChicago]

I’m 5 days since a positive test and I can taste absolutely nothing, not a thing!

I absolutely love food and finding this the most depressing part of having Covid.

If anyone’s had it, how long did taste and smell take to come back? We go on a UK break in a couple of weeks and the thought of not being able to savour a glass of wine or enjoying a meal out is making me want to cancel it! 😭

Hmm I’m not feeling too hopeful for it returning before my holiday then. On the plus side…I’m 5lbs down in 5 days 🤷🏼‍♀️

Everything crossed that it does, I used the opportunity to eat (in soup form) absolutely every vegetable that I’m not adult enough to eat with a full sense of taste and smell!

About 10 months for me. Also when I finally stopped having Weird nerve pains, post viral issues and horrible fatigue.

Op... please tell me your taste and smell has now come back?
It's been 3 weeks for me and it's there very slightly with smell but still no taste 😢

Erm…no it hasn’t! I would say it has slightly returned but nothing like it used to be. Some things still have absolutely zero taste….like chocolate .
