A COVID-19 infection can cause you to lose your taste or smell. As these two sensations work together, many people experience both being affected.

These changes may cause your favorite foods to taste and smell differently following your COVID illness.

Food may taste bland, sweet, or metallic. Although these changes are usually temporary, they can affect your appetite and how much you eat.
