first of all if you are saying that you can tell whether anything is sweet or bitter it means your taste sensation is intact..With regards to smell, if you have cold there is possibility that due to inflammation you may have loss sense of smell for few days...you will gain it in few days .I.A....further continue your general precautions as there is pandemic going around and there is no cure for it...To me you have no such covid symptoms but you can get yourself tested for your sake.

General Practitioner in Haripur - Dr. Umar Afzal

use plenty of hot fluids
As well and other mentioned things in my previous comment

As respected drs mentioned that its most likely due to covid... I must mention here symptoms of covid and common fly almost same with some specificity of covid as loss of smell completely as nose doesnot exist and breathing issue. So if u have any symptoms of even commomn cold better is to isolate urself even from family members.
Thanks for further gudance u can take my appointment on marham for proper counselling and immume boosting.

Sir isolate yourself Positively. Get yourself Tested for Covid 19. Your symptoms are Highly Suggestive that you are Infected. Nothing to worry about at all if you are not having symptoms. Just observe Social Distancing so that people around you remain safe. Take Multivitamins CaC1000 Plus Supplements on Regular Basis with Proper Healthy Diet & Routine especially Proper Sleep. Do some Exercises too to ease your Breathing & enhance your Immunity. In case the Symptoms become severe do Consult a Physician.
