nose discomfort and loss of smell and taste

Hi,

I've been having a discomfort in my nose since the last few days. It feels sort of congested on the inside even though it isn't actually congested. I had a runny nose few days back but now it's okay with just this weird congested/pressure like feeling in my nose.

I am also not able to smell or taste anything except basic sweet and salty flavours but nothing distinct.

I did come in contact with a COVID-19 patient and it started a few days after that.

Slight fatigue and headaches.

No fever, cough or any other symptoms.

I got the test done and it came out negative but I may have got the test done too early or too late maybe.

What can I do now?

Also, how long does it take for the smell and taste to return?

Thank you so much!
