Loss of taste after neocoronavirus is usually not permanent.
Confirmed cases of neocoronavirus infection may present with loss of taste, which is associated with neocoronavirus-induced viral nerve damage, in which the virus damages intracranial nerves, which in turn affects the gustatory nerves, and, in addition, the virus may bind to sialic acid receptors, occupying and accelerating degradation of the taste particles, leading to a loss of taste sensation.
If it is only a neocoronavirus infection that leads to upper respiratory tract infection and causes localized mucosal damage, taste function can be gradually restored in most patients after the disease is cured, and usually after symptoms are relieved.
In order to prevent infection with New Crown and related sequelae, it is recommended to develop good hygiene habits, wash hands frequently, wear masks, and do not gather.
In case of new crown virus infection, please go to the local designated medical institutions for timely treatment, during which protection and isolation measures should be taken to prevent adverse consequences.
