How long does it take for taste and smell to return from covid?

Hello,

The duration of the loss of smell (which is responsible for the loss of taste) is very difficult to determine. However, some studies suggest that about 70% of people regain it after 1 month and 90% of people after 3 months. A small percentage of people unfortunately still report this symptom after 6 months.

I am linking you to this interesting article that appeared recently in the sun on the subject

I would say 3 months would be a reasonable time frame. Of course, if your symptoms are greatly affecting your morale, don't hesitate to consult sooner

I look forward to seeing you,
