Loss of smell, taste after mild COVID improves within 3 years, study shows

In the small cohort study, 88 patients with loss of smell and taste were compared to 88 controls.

Tipping into week 7 without the ability to taste anything! And what little sense of smell had returned is basically gone again

It must have been covid despite 3 negative tests- the first time in 3 years that I went out without a mask

I just really want to taste food and drink again
