How to regain scent, says a doctor with 23 years of experience
Anosmia (i.e. loss of smell) is a common symptom of any colds, just before we were not so afraid of it, and therefore did not focus on it. The only difference is that with ARVI, the scent was restored as soon as the person recovered. And in the case of covid long weeks may passbefore the smells return.
Anyway your actions both with the onset of a cold and with covid are the same. I described them right here.
At the famous doctor, professor of the School of Systems Biology, George Mason University (USA) Anchi Baranova I read an interesting technique for restoring scent.
1. Need to "sniff" - constantly smell something with a pronounced aroma, for example, perfume or roasted coffee. Just don't need anything harmful like bleach.
2. It is necessary to "remember" - look at your favorite food, try to catch its smell and remember it in your head.
This should do the trick.
