how many days is it taking you to go from a positive antigen test to negative? with no symptoms at all.

Anyone who lost the sense of smell or taste did it take long to come back?

Was it a gradual thing?

Tested positive on Saturday on 2 antigen tests (thought I messed up the first one)

Had symptoms which was the reason for the test.

Got very lucky and manged to book a pcr test in Newbridge some GAA Club grounds. Got the appointment for Sunday just gone

Got results today and came back positive no surprise.

Just a chest infection nothing to serious. Don't have a booster but I'm 28 with no underlying health conditions so wasn't expecting anything serious.

Dunno who I got it from or where but I know more people who have had it in the last month then since this began.

I finished up my isolation a few days ago and am mostly back to normal, however last Wednesday I did notice that my left ear was very muffled and I couldn't hear properly through it. I assumed it was just because my nose was blocked and it would clear itself up. Almost a week later and it's the same, if not worse, even though my nose is back to normal. Has anyone else experienced this? I've looked it up online and it seems that it happens in about 8% of cases, but I can't find much information about it beyond that.

I got ear drops yesterday but they don't seem to have done anything as of yet. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, so hopefully it's something he can fix. I've read that you can lose some of your hearing if you get a virus, so I'm freaking out a bit but also hoping it's something as simple as a wax build up that can be cleared with flushing/a syringe.
