One of the most common symptoms of COVID-19 is loss of smell. Often, it remains in patients after the virus is cured and requires additional measures.
In all patients, the coronavirus proceeds differently. But experts have found that one of the main signs that a person is sick with COVID-19 is a loss of smell.
Already recovered patients complain that the lack of odors haunts them for many weeks after the illness.
That is why doctors advise paying special attention to this symptom and not neglecting treatment so as not to aggravate the condition.
“When a person recovers, he feels good, his fever, weakness disappears, but a reduced sense of smell may remain forever,” warns otolaryngologist Vladimir Zaitsev in an interview for the portal .
To prevent the problem, the doctor advises to fight the swelling of the mucous membranes with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and hormonal nasal sprays.
In addition, you should often rinse your nose with a sea salt solution. This will help to effectively clear the mucous membrane and prevent the accumulation of pathogenic bacteria.
