[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 257686, member: 43589"] I had the mild version of Covid 19 over a year ago. Wasn't that bad but I feel like some of long covid symptoms may still be around. Having to do some intensive therapies to get rid of a lingering cough. I have also not been able to smell ANYTHING for over a year. This is called Anosmia which is the partial or complete loss of the sense of smell. Here is what is recommended doctors that specialize in the treatment of anosmia caused by covid 19. • Loss of smell and taste is a troubling symptom in post-COVID patients and in the vaccine injured. The loss of taste usually follows the loss of smell. Multiple mechanisms may explain the loss of smell including direct injury to the olfactory bulb. [396] Anosmia is a particularly difficult condition to treat. Boesveldt S, Postma EM, Boak D et al. Anosmia - A clinical review. Chemical senses 2017; 42:513-23. [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28531300/[/URL] • Oxytocin nasal spray. Oxytocin receptors are highly expressed on olfactory neurons as well as limbic structures. Oxytocin nasal spray has been demonstrated to improve the sense of smell in patients with schizophrenia. A dose of one puff in each nostril two times a day for a total dosage of 16 IU per day is suggested. Oxytocin must be avoided in pregnancy. Lee MR, Wehring HJ, McMahon RP et al.
