So I had covid last February and then in December. I never really fully regained my taste which was somewhat depressing.

Anyways, I aggravated my peroneal tendon at the end of December and had a pretty swollen ankle.

The doc prescribed a tapered 5-6 day steroid treatment to reduce swelling. I am 98% sure this helped me regain my taste. It's all back.

Anyways, didn't know where to leave this. Is this a treatment for taste loss?

Loss of taste and smell could be due to inflammation. Steroids are anti-inflammatory.

Let us know once you are off the steroids if you lose your sense of taste and smell again.
