I've had this cold and cough going on since last Thursday, and my doctor put me on Azitab 500 for five days. I took a Covid test on Monday, and thankfully it came back negative. But now, since Tuesday, I can't smell or taste anything properly. It's frustrating because all I can taste is this constant sour flavor. Do you think I should get tested for Covid again?
