Brief Answer:
Altered smell sensation

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are having altered sense of smell. Altered smell sensation is frequently reported by mild cases of COVID-19. I will suggest that you isolate yourself.
For altered sense of smell, take tab Neurobion plus twice a day for as long as possible. Take lots of fruits especially citrus fruits like mousambi, raisins, etc. Gargle with warm water with some salt in it.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
