KoreaxxLove 194 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Could very well be COVID. No one here can diagnose you, though. It could be something unrelated. You'll need to get tested to make sure.ย While the loss of taste and smell does linger for some, it's usually not permanent.ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do better in quarantine. Definitely quarantine yourself if you're exhibiting COVID symptoms. Depending on your age and condition, rest might be the only treatment you need. Just make sure that you're staying distant from others so that you don't potentially spread it. If your symptoms become worrying, then see a doctor. Judging based on experience with those who have had COVID, mild cases are generally treated with Zinc, steroids, and rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wouldn't go to the hospital either, but definitely self quarantine, and if you work you should just tell them you have covid even if you can't get tested right away its better to be safe then sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Lou 159 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Similar to when I had Covid. Two days, I felt sick. Then for two days, I was completely fine and did not feel sick at all. And then, on the 5th day, I felt the worst and on the 6th day, I lost my senses. Smell and taste, but also mentally because I was just going crazy. Didn't smell and taste anything for a whole week, then it slowly got better. But I already knew in the beginning that I had Covid because my father was diagnosed positive and the whole family had to get tested.ย My first day I felt sick was New Year's Eve, not the best way to start 2021. I'm not sick anymore, but for me it's hard to get back on track. Anyway, it's not permanent so don't worry about that! ย Edited March 6, 2021 by Lou Lou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usagi. 13,668 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Tbh if your sense or smell is gone than yeah, you probably have it. Quarantine yourself, it's not permanent, some people have this symptom months after testing negative but most don't, mine came back in three days for example. Drink a lot of water and force yourself to eat because your body will demand a lot from you and you won't have any appetite... As for meds it's better to ask to a doctor to direct you for the best treatment. Vitamins don't really help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsocks 7,986 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I don't think it's entirely smart to just isolate yourself? If you've been outside of the house or live with other people you should get tested 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do stop if you have headache tho, it might be sign of too much Vitamin D which is harmful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ask them to hang on your doorย If not there is nothing you can do, you can just get vitamins later, just don't forget about them lol Otherwise don't drink cold stuff, even remotely cold drinks can be harmful to your lungs, its weird I know but drink everything warm or at least lukewarmย Make sure to measure your temperature frequently too, incase it goes to dangerous areas, you would probably feel your hotness anyway.ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
