Infection with a new crown may result in loss of taste and may remain long after healing.
New crown is generally referred to as novel coronavirus pneumonia, which is an inflammation of the lungs caused by a coronavirus, and the disease can be spread by droplet transmission and contact transmission.
After infection with novel coronavirus, mild patients may have symptoms such as low-grade fever, mild malaise and taste disturbance. In severe cases, one week after the onset of the disease, respiratory distress, septic shock, and even multi-organ failure may occur, and a very small number of patients may have central nervous system involvement and other manifestations.
The loss of taste may persist for some time after the recovery of neococcal pneumonia with aggressive treatment, and some patients do not recover.
When patients have symptoms of suspected new crown infection, they should wear a good mask and go to a regular hospital in a timely manner, and if diagnosed actively cooperate with the doctor for isolation and treatment.
