Go buy a low-dose nicotine gum. Chew it for a few seconds to break it down and let it rest in between your cheek and gums for about 10 minutes. Do this 2-3 times a day.
This happened to me in 2021ish and it took 6 months to begin to smell again! Fast forward to end of 2024 (same VIRUS) using Nicotine Gum and my sense of smell returned in days. Same thing happened in early 2025. I was slammed and got pretty sick; middle ear infection and minor loss of hearing! In one ear; will retest that in 1 month AND lost my sense of smell. Back to the Nicotine Gum and I was good within days. I love herbs and good food. Losing my sense of smell (or taste, but that didn't happen to me) would be devistating.
Hope this helps someone out there...it works.

Zinc, 30mg is also excellent for that. Mine returned within 24hrs.
