Can Vitamin-A nasal drop help regain COVID-related loss of smell?

Anosmia, the medical term for a partial or total loss of smell in a person, is one of the tell-tale signs that an individual has COVID.

London: UK researchers believe that people who lost their sense of smell after COVID infections can likely regain it by using nasal drops containing vitamin A.

Anosmia, the medical term for a partial or total loss of smell in a person, is one of the tell-tale signs that an individual has COVID. But the condition can also be long-term, with nearly 5 percent of COVID patients not recovering their sense of smell one year after being infected.

To better understand, a team from the University of East Anglia will run a 12-week trial, treating infected people who have lost their smell with nasal drops containing the nutrient, the Daily Mail reported.
