It sounds like you have a foreign object (tissue paper) stuck in your nose. It is important to remove it to avoid any potential complications. You can try to gently blow your nose to see if that helps dislodge the tissue. If that doesn't work, you should seek medical help to have it safely removed. Leaving it in overnight is not recommended as it can lead to irritation or infection. You can use over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray to help reduce swelling and make it easier to remove the tissue.

I'm really curious about how much losing my sense of smell and taste is related to COVID. Is it normal that I can't detect things that are close by and having trouble telling the difference between salty and sweet? I don't have a cold or headache, just a bit of weakness, but I'm worried because my ability to smell things from a distance is off. Do these sound like COVID symptoms to you?

Yes, they are the covid symptoms.
