For the past 30 days, I have been unable to taste or smell anything. Additionally, I am experiencing a strange, unpleasant taste that is the same for all types of food, whether spicy or not. I had a COVID 19 test, which came back negative, and I also underwent blood tests, which I have attached.

Loss of smell and taste for 30 plus days may occur after viral infections (COVID, other viruses). Sometimes it is part of post viral fatigue syndrome. Try zinc supplements, vitamin B12, and olfactory training (sniffing essential oils daily). If no improvement in 2 to 3 weeks, consult ENT.

What does the 'H' flag mean on a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi doctor, earlier I had updated my blood report and you suggested me to take multivitamins with minerals. I am again updating my blood report. I sometimes feel fatigue and sudden dizziness but otherwise I am eating well, sleeping, and working normally. Please suggest some multivitamins that I can take. Thank you.
