Researchers are exploring therapies to help people regain their sense of smell after a COVID-19 infection, aiming to understand how smell cells regenerate. A procedure called stellate ganglion block is found to improve smell issues in some long Covid patients. The COVID-19 remedy, Paxlovid, has an unpleasant side effect known as 'Paxlovid mouth' due to its effects on the tongue's taste receptors.
