Loss of taste AFTER main symptoms gone/feel better

[Kcc73]

Hi - this is so weird. I had what I thought was covid but tested negative throughout (I was one of the more recent posters about this). I had very sore throat, achyness and v v tired. Main symptoms went after 5-6 days but remained easily fatigued - and then this morning I can't taste properly!! Never had this before but of course read about it A LOT. Is this related to the other symptoms I had - ie confirm that it was covid? Or am I brewing covid now?? (tested negative). Anyone else develop this AFTER main symptoms cleared? I have read online one research identifying this but there's only one.

I recently had covid. I tested negative for 4 days then positive.
My taste and smell were the last thing to get me after other symptoms had stopped. I was left with fatigue and no smell/taste. These 3 symptoms are lingering around along with severe tummy pains.
hope your taste comes back soon!

My symptoms pretty much cleared and I was starting to feel a little less shit, then my sense of taste and smell disappeared. It lasted around ten days before returning.

I wasn't testing positive for very long at all. Less than a week. My son who had it at the same time was negative after a positive within two days.

Hope you feel better soon

pp(s) - thanks.
It's really odd as it was my morning cuppa that tasted really bland (and I have it strong( and the cereal seemed to have little taste. But I tried a strepsil (as had left over from sore throat last week and figured a strong flavour) and I could taste that so thought over reacting. But I have another cuppa and just tastes watery, along with a biscuit - no flavour. You begin to feel you are imagining it! And it's 4 days since throat eased. Though have remained fatigued. But all along never tested positive.
