Loss of taste and smell

[Megaannn]

For anyone that has tested positive and lost their taste and smell, how long was it before it came back?

My ds (8) lost his for about 3 days.

Couple of weeks.

We've all had covid in the last couple weeks.

Dp only lost his smell and taste for 4 days. Suddenly went, suddenly come back. Nothing gradual about it. Just a total loss for 4
days.

My isolation ends tomorrow. I've been a bit different. Lost it more gradually a few days in, totally lost all senses for about 2 days. Since then it's gradually been coming back. I can smell some things close up and not others. Has to be close up too. Taste is coming back really slowly not entirely tasteless anymore. Hoping things will improve and I can fully taste my Christmas dinner. I also have a smoky smell and taste when sniffing or eating 😪

My kids didn't lost any of it. They haven't mention not being able to taste or smell.

@AD80 I am hoping mine will come back quickly too! I have been trying to search online for an average time and it’s all horror story’s!

I’m on day 3 and can’t bring myself to eat anything, not being able to taste and only feeling the texture is making me feel sick! Need to eat something though because I am breastfeeding my LO!
