Why have I lost my sense of taste and smell for the past three days with no other symptoms and a normal blood oxygen level of 98%, and what should I do about taking PCM, antibiotics, zinc, Limcee, and doxy?

Asked by Male, 37 · 3 days ago

A sudden loss of taste and smell is most commonly caused by a viral infection, such as COVID-19. Since you have no other symptoms, you do not need paracetamol (PCM) or antibiotics like doxycycline, as these do not treat viral infections and should only be taken if prescribed. You may safely take zinc and Limcee (vitamin C) as supportive supplements. Please isolate at home, stay well-hydrated, and take a COVID-19 test. It is best to consult a doctor before starting any antibiotics to ensure they are necessary for your recovery.
