I was diagnosed with Covid on Dec 5th. Took Paxlovid for 5 days. After 5days I had few days thzt I was feeling better and just like that I started to feel sick again with runny nose, cough and low grade fever. Today 12/17 I realized I have lost the sense of taste and smell. I remembered that my PCP told me that there are many patients who experience Covid rebound but the doctors can’t understand why especially when a person has been treated for Covid. I am taking Robitussin DM for my cough which has subsided a little. I feel weak so I can say that Covid doesn’t want to leave my body. I tested Positive for Covid again. Does anyone lose the sense of taste and smell? If yes, how long it lasts? Thank you.
