No right answer to regaining sense of smell National May 21, 2021 KARACHI: “Have I lost my sense of smell and taste permanently after contracting the COVID-19?” is one of the common questions asked by people from otolayrngologists (ear, nose and throat ENT specialists) and neurologists these days, but nobody has the right answer yet. Some of them believe both the senses would return with the passage of time, while others fear these are lost permanently. “A lot of people are coming to me and other ENT specialists with complaints that they are unable to taste food and smell even after several months after contracting the COVID-19. These are mostly asymptomatic patients, who lost both senses i.e. smell and taste after contracting COVID-19 but never regained them”, says Prof. Atif Hafeez Siddiqui, an ENT specialist associated with Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS), Karachi.
