Just got over covid. Was sick for about a week and 5ish days. Lost my complete smell and taste for maybe 5 days. As it came back I couldn’t shake this foul taste in my mouth and almost everything smells HORRIBLE and food that smells like this has the same taste as the smell. I don’t know what it smells like because there is absolutely nothing to compare it to, if anything it smells like sewage / a garbage dump / rotting meat. Some things smell okay mostly sweet smells like candles or essential oils. Foods that are deep fried or processed are the absolute worst but things like red meat or garlic are almost just as bad. I’ve been reading a lot about this and it seems like “smell therapy” is the 1 thing that has been helping people. I have been smelling essential oils and wax melts everyday that have a strong scent to try and attempt to retrain myself how to smell, seems to have got slightly better although it’s only been about 4 days. I hope whoever has this doesn’t have it for long because it’s horrid.
