Wife has been giving us vitamin C, vitamin D, Zinc and multis daily. Contracted Covid in March and it felt like a mild cold but I did lose my smell for 2 weeks.
I favor deodorant. ;)
My wife has been taking HCQ for decades. We’ve been doing heavy doses of Vitamin D, Zinc, Vitamin C and multiple vitamins and Quercatin Bronelain.
When my 26 year old son got COVID in March our doctor had us all take Ivermectin.
Eventually all 4 of us caught COVID. The 26 year old son and my wife were hospitalized with pneumonia and it was pretty rough. My older son and I had no symptoms.
We are in our late 60s and both got it. For me a mild cold: 4 tylenol and 1/2 hour 99 degree temp. For my wife average cold: 4 tylenol/day for 4 days and 99 degree temp for a couple days. We never lost taste or smell, fatigue was noticeable, additional rest a couple times a day.
A shower could have help that. You didn't need to catch COVID. :-)
We have been dosing daily with zinc added to our normal D3, K2, super B complex and turmeric. Have not been sick in a couple of years.
Your smell could have been cured by a shower once iun a while, without using Covid.
