Lost sense of taste?

I lost my sense of taste going on over 30 days or I should say everything tastes bad. I have been tested for covet 19 twice and both were negative. Other than the taste i don't feel bad. Is there anything i can do to get relief?

Question back to you: Did you lose taste to sour, sweet, AND salty? Or just 1 of those? I would assume (in this day/age) that you may have a "false negative" to COVID and work on supporting your immune system - zinc, elderberry extract, vitamin C, vitamin D, melatonin. Suck on sour candy - that helps to stimulate salivation.
