T his means that some neuro-regeneration is happening, and the smell fibers are just not fully back to normal. This is when you would want to start doing more olfactory training to help stimulate the olfact ory nerve. The good news is, the majority of patients recover quickly, so this loss of taste and smell is temporary. If you are still suffering from these symptoms after recovering from other COVID symptoms, start doing more olfactory training and over-the-counter nasal steroid sprays.

The research analyzed data from 2, patients in France, Belgium and Italy. Of 2, COVID patients studied, 95 percent of patients regained their sense of smell within six months, according to the study in the Journal of Internal Medicine.
For most patients, COVID infection is unlikely to permanently damage olfactory neural circuits and lead to persistent anosmia, Dr. Datta said, adding, "Once the infection clears, olfactory neurons don't appear to need to be replaced or rebuilt from scratch. But we need more data and a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms to confirm this conclusion.
The average time of olfactory dysfunction reported by patients was Nearly a quarter of the 2, COVID patients studied didn't regain smell and taste within 60 days of infection. Makes depending on size. Preheat the oven to degrees.
Place the oats in a blender or food processor and pulverize for 30 seconds to make oat flour. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, peanut butter, baking soda, salt, vanilla, honey and egg.
Use a hand mixer or heavy wooden spoon to combine; the mixture will be thick. Press the dough balls down using the palm of your hand. Create a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie by pressing a fork into the dough. If the fork sticks to the dough, wipe the fork on a paper towel sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for minutes. The cookies will be soft and tender when they come out of the oven; allow them to cool and firm up on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. These cookies can also be frozen. Wrap them in bundles of cookies in plastic wrap then place inside a zippered plastic bag and place in the freezer.
