Summary
Badger 77494 caught Covid in 2022 and it hit their sinuses hard, leaving them with a month of constant clear mucus, lost taste and smell and phantosmia. After trying everything, a few days of Claritin was the only thing that cleared it. Since then their nose flares up randomly and they go back to allergy medication, and colds now hit them much harder.
