People who have common cold suffer from loss of taste and smell and so do those who are suffering from COVID-19. But there is a difference.
A new study published in the journal Rhinology based on a research conducted at the University of East Anglia has established that the novel coronavirus may have the potential to impact the brain and central nervous system of the patients, said Entertainment Times quoting an ANI report.
The other differences
1. Coronavirus patients are able to breathe freely even with a loss of smell
2. They do not have a runny nose or blocked nose
3. They are not able to differentiate between bitter and sweet taste
According to the research, the loss of smell and taste was more significant in coronavirus patients as they experienced ‘true loss of taste,’ ANI reported
The researchers speculate that the smell and taste disorders in COVID-19 patients could be caused by the impact of novel coronavirus on the brain and nervous system, the report added.
