I had a constant, relatively low fever for around 8 days, then ended up developing pneumonia (I have a history of it) and it got really bad, and I was fucked for months (again, due to the secondary lung infection).
But for me the smell-taste thing it was basically water tasting funny, like extremely sugary. Not that I ate much at all. Very weird and specific, but it seems there was no permanent damage to my nose or taste buds.
