Summary
A woman fell ill shortly after her daughter began wheezing in May 2020, with cough, sticky mucus, then blocked sinuses, loss of smell and taste and no strength. Through September and October she was mostly at home with asthma-like symptoms and mucus, needing two inhalers and an antihistamine. An antibiotic for a dental abscess cleared her sinus dryness after four months, but the asthma and mucus remained.
