Can I experience loss of smell or taste after COVID-19?
it’s common to lose your sense of smell after having a virus or upper respiratory tract infection, and as COVID-19 (also known as Coronavirus) is a viral infection it may also cause post-infectious loss of smell.
A recent press release from ENT UK and the British Rhinological Society tells us that,
“Post-viral anosmia is one of the leading causes of loss of sense of smell in adults, accounting for up to 40% cases of anosmia.
Viruses that give rise to the common cold are well known to cause post-infectious loss, and over 200 different viruses are known to cause upper respiratory tract infections.”
It goes on to state,
“Previously described coronaviruses are thought to account for 10-15% cases.
It is therefore perhaps no surprise that the novel COVID-19 virus would also cause anosmia in infected patients.”
What vitamins are best to fight off Covid-19?
It’s important to note that no vitamin can cure or prevent you from catching a disease.
While no research currently supports the use of a supplement against the protection of covid-19, boosting your immune system may prevent you from catching two viruses at the same time, and in turn, reducing the severity of your symptoms.
Vitamin C, D and zinc are all essential to the normal function of your immune system.
Can Nurofen be used to treat COVID-19?
Experts have concluded that ibuprofen can be taken by people with COVID-19 (coronavirus) to ease their headache and bring down a fever.
As ibuprofen is the active ingredient in most Nurofen products, they can be used when self-medicating these symptoms.
However, you should be aware that Nurofen is not a treatment for COVID-19 itself and can only be used to manage your symptoms and make you feel more comfortable.
If you think that you may have COVID-19 you should follow government guidelines carefully, get a test as soon as possible, and make sure you and your support bubble self isolate.
