Hi all,
I haven't had many symptoms with this but did have a slight headache for a few days and then yesterday suddenly realised I had no sense of smell or taste. I'd been googling the latest info and a few articles mentioned loss of sense of smell and taste could be an early symptom, or sometimes the only symptom. I've phoned NHS 111 and a Dr called me back in 30mins and said she knew about the sense of smell symptom. She told me to self isolate for 7 days. I have mild asthma. Even though I've read most people get mild symptoms especially where loss of sense of smell is the main symptom, I'm still sooooooooooo scared.
I then frightened myself even more by cleaning the mouthpiece of my peak flow meter with a 70% wipe. I know now it was stupid. I then used it after it had dried for a couple of hours and freaked myself because I had a slight burning sensation on my lips and tongue. I immediately rinsed my mouth over and over and the sensation has gone but I'm so scared about that too now!
Can anyone help?
