Sense of smell and taste returned after 3.5 years

I find that I cannot taste or smell in the mornings. I also do not feel temperature in the mornings. It is frustrating but I have gotten used to it. I am going to try the essential oils. I have some peppermint. I did not think of that and it is a great suggestion. My hope is we all get our senses back and this virus leaves our bodies. I will say that I also find that I feel better, physically, if I stay away from salt and sugar. The problem with eating healthy is sometimes I find I do not feel like cooking as I am fatigued at night once I have done what I have to do during the day. I want to talk to my doctor about anti-viral medications. I know that EBV plays a role in this. Anyone tried any anti-virals for Long COVID?

@diverdown1 , I eat a consistently healthy diet. I often cook my protein in advance and freeze it for later in the week.
I wish I had an antiviral right now. This weekend I got a terrible upper respiratory infection. Tested negative for flu and covid but man! It’s brutal. Much worse than my last flu in 2019 and covid in 2023. Unbelievable. My immunity must be robust, or else I’d be in the hospital.
