I got covid last month for the first time. Laid me up for a good week.

However, I am having some issues with my sense of smell, which I understand is common after covid.

For some while, I thought it was me - a strange body odour, but my partner says it isn't. I have a horrible smell in my nose and also my sense of taste is off, nearly a month later.

It smells like fried egg whites.

Has anyone had similar and did it go?

(Bonus is appetite is reduced, so I am losing a bit of weight).
