Nearly 80% of those who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 experience olfactory loss, or smell loss, according to Dr. Michael Jacobson, an otolaryngologist with Hampton Roads ENT.
âItâs one of the most important early signals that you might have COVID,â he said.
The way the human sense of smell works is through a nerve called the olfactory nerve located at the base of the brain. This nerve sends messages to the brain when hair cells from the olfactory epithelium, a special tissue inside the nasal cavity, interacts with odorants.
When the coronavirus attacks the sense of smell, there is no direct damage to the olfactory nerve but to the supporting cells that keep it healthy.
Nosebleeds: First aid
Nosebleed care
Sit upright and lean forward. By remaining upright, you reduce blood pressure in the veins of your nose. This discourages further bleeding. Sitting forward will help you avoid swallowing blood, which can irritate your stomach.
Gently blow your nose. Blow your nose to clear your nose of blood clots. Then spray both sides of your nose with a nasal decongestant containing oxymetazoline (Afrin).
Pinch your nose. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch your nostrils shut. Breathe through your mouth. Continue to pinch for 10 to 15 minutes. Pinching sends pressure to the bleeding point on the nasal septum and often stops the flow of blood.
