ThreeBlackBird:Don't mind him. I have had uncountable malaria before but never lost my sense of smelling. That's shows you it is not ordinary malaria. Thank God am better now. I can perceive any odor very well now. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Felt same more than a week ago. Started out looking like malaria but being an AA and one that regularly treated malaria, something was off about the symptoms I felt this time. By the second day, the pains on my body and joints were immense and I literally slept all through the day with slight fever and headaches. No cough or difficulty breathing experienced but by the second day, I'd lost my sense of smell but could still taste sweetness and saltyness. Was thinking of going for a typhoid test as I was certain it wasn't malaria this time but meanwhile binged on fruits - barely ripe mangos (I read a single one contains 30 times as much Vit C as you can get in an orange). I found the local herb - lemon and garlic soaked in boiled water very helpful as the relief it gave was near immediate. Also took good multivitamin capsules and started feeling some relief by the 4th day and my sense of smell is gradually returning after a week. Been working from home so able to isolate effectively but my brother came around and despite our precautions also started feeling symptoms. I think the virus is all over Lagos. 11 Likes |

TrueHeart365:same thing happened to me. I had malaria symptoms, pains in my joints, slight headache, and a little chest pain.did not loose my breathe. but little climbing step and I will just be breathing like I ran 100 metres. I took malaria medicine and gradually it progressed to slight headache no chest pain and complete loss of smell and partial loss of taste. can taste salt and sugar but not the flavour in a meal. infact it's just like tasting the salt used to prepare any food. now I have regained the my tasting and smelling ability, but now I have mucous like feeling in my nose but no mocous and a feeling of coughing, but no cough. 5 Likes |

martineverest: It does. That's one of the symptoms. As well as high temperature and sometimes headache. You only made mention of no sense of smell.... Which is a general symptom of many flu or sickness... You didn't complained of dry cough or chest pain which is a symptom of Covid-19.... Malaria doesn't give you cough or chest pain. |

In my own assumption, I think the frequent use of face mask limits the fresh supply of oxygen to the brain. (face mask encourages higher level of carbon dioxide in the blood due to its incapacity to expel Co2 fully while wearing the mask) This in return limits the optimal functioning of our sensory organs which needs more oxygen than co2. 6 Likes |

As a pharmacist, I have encountered such complaints from more than 10 clients,deep inside me,I know they might have contracted it but they will always rebuke it whenever I try bringing it up.So,understanding the psychology and religious fanatics among our people, I will give them Good supplements for immunity boost and high strength vit C not forgetting to encourage them to go for testing and observe necessary precautions and almost all of them if not all are doing perfectly well. *Modified* God is actually helping us here in Africa coz going by what is obtainable in UK,US n recently Brazil, we all would have been in for a long thing by now and the open drug market whereby one can conveniently walk in to a pharmacy get whatever supplements and medication one wants is a big advantage to us unlike strict measures applicable in somewhere like US. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Fellow Nigerians, the coronavirus is upon us as we speak,it is sweeping through like an ocean wave and nothing can stop it as if moves through, it will carry the weak and the sick, some will survive and some will not. Let us brace ourselves for the impact, this is not about curfew and nose masks or believing it exists or not,. This is about our immune system and good luck,. I wish everyone the best of luck and a healthy ready immune system, I also pray for the souls of those that won't make it and those who have already gone an external rest plus forgiveness. 6 Likes |
