Dear Lybrate user, its great that your rtpcr test is negative now. You are a corona warrior in true sense. It may take some more time to regain sense of taste. Continue taking balanced diet, good rest and sleep, gargles, milk with turmeric and regular follow up. Please communicate with me after appointment for medication advice.
Thanks and regards.
