Pregnancy rhinitis or covid ?

[Pompeygirl80]

Hello I’m nearly 24 w pregnant and for the last 3 days have had a stuffy nose , I have now realised I can’t smell or taste , I have no other symptoms to suggest covid but obviously I’m panicking because losing your smell is a main symptom.. please help !!
Anyone else with this and what to do to ease the blocked nose ? I don’t feel poorly so I don’t know if I need a covid test

I think you need a test if you can't smell or taste. At least to rule it out. I'm 22 weeks and very snotty but can definitely taste and smell

You need to get tested. no one is going to be able to tell you on here if you have covid or not. Saline drops may help some of the congestion or give ur local pharmacy a phone call and they can advise what is safe in pregnancy, and hopefully have a delivery service as you won't be able to go collect anything until you get a negative test x

You need a covid test and to self isolate from now!

Yea I have ordered one , gonna stay in now
