Loss of Smell and Loss of Taste

Writer's picture: NikitaJoshiNikitaJoshi

Anosmia= Loss of smell

Ageusia= Loss of taste - These are the symptoms, lasting a few days to weeks, that were identified in patients in the early stages of COVID-19. This could be associated with continuous virus shredding.

The continuous impairment of olfactory and gustatory functions post 14 days of quarantine and the start of symptoms, may still mean an incomplete recovery. A recently recovered COVID-19 patient may still be carrying a viral load, and therefore risk of virus transmission may still occur.


In this situation, it may be best to further postpone treatment if possible until there is a complete recovery.
