Maybe you have nasal polyps?

Um, you can't taste when you have a cold too. Take Vitamin C. Avoid the hype and runaround. You don't need a test.

Can't tell whether it is a cold or the coronavirus without a test.

OP needs to test so he can be prepared if symptoms worsen

He also needs to stay home until he has test results.

No way in the devil i am taking a test and waiting in line in mid 80's temps for 8 hours. I would rather die first. It is going away but taste won't come back for a long time.

I had the same happen from a cold about.. 4 or 5 years ago. First time it had ever happened to me and kinda freaked me out. I literally stuck my nose in a bottle of ammonia and inhaled.. Nothing.


Took 3 or 4 weeks for it to come back.. I feel for you.. That's pretty miserable.

Pollen? Where are you?

I always found vigorous exercise would open up my nose temporarily, regardless of how stuffed it became.

Do you live in a third world country? Because where I'm from, I made an appointment, showed up, called them from my car, and 2 minutes later I walked into Patient First and got my nose swabbed. I was out 2 minutes after that.

All y'all know that the virus that causes the "common" cold is also, a corona virus?
