Hatzolo could do a rapid test, it costs £££ and may not be perfectly accurate.
I may be wrong, but I haven't heard of covid causing loss of smell and not taste. What's your sense of taste like today? |
yes I have!
my sil has it now and can taste and not smell.

I lost my sense of smell and taste twice in the last 7 months. And was sick with fever and cough. Both times I tested negat8ve per corona and positive for enterovirus....
So no, not everything is straight up corona.

Refuah shleima, one way or another.
Do you have other cold symptoms, like a stuffy or runny nose? See, eg, https://atriumhealth.org/-/med.....t.pdf
If your only symptom is a loss of smell, I'd test, and assume covid until you hear otherwise.

For those who are saying that someone had Covid and could smell or taste, please remember that you don't automatically lose those. So a Covid patient could retain one or both of those senses whilst still testing positive!

You dont lose your sense of smell with a cold.
If youre able to breathe at all through your nose, you should be able to smell besamim, flavored coffee, scented deodorant etc. Even with a cold.
If you cant, thats a big sign. |
Of course you can lose s ell with a cold
When my neighbor asked dr this question he just said the loss of smell from corona is diff. Then cold. With a cold you can still smell garlic pwdr, fresh coffee. With corona loss ost of the time not (many lose smell but not taste although taste can happen later or just be weird)

Thank you so much for being responsible in curbing the spread.
You never know...you really may have prevented a death.
