New Delhi, 22 November 2020 Sunday

The corona virus has spread once again. Many state governments have imposed night curfews. Corona cases are increasing rapidly in the capital Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Corona virus has often been found to change its forms. At times, the symptoms of corona do not change. Later in Corona's symptoms, it was also found that he lost his ability to perceive taste and smell. Along with this, gastric trouble and chest pain also occur. All of these symptoms usually start in the second week of corona.

According to the expert doctor, the smell and taste are not recognizable at the beginning of covid disease, then it is a good sign of the disease. This indicates that the person is more likely to get the corona virus.

According to the doctor, about 40 percent of the patients had difficulty recognizing smell and taste. As a result, many patients have returned to their homes after receiving timely treatment. While in many such cases no symptoms were found in corona patients. Such patients beat the corona but also fear that they will not spread the infection to others.

According to another doctor treating patients with corona, my research shows that most patients who lose their sense of smell and taste do not develop serious illnesses. They do not need oxygen support and most of these patients do not even need to be hospitalized.

The doctor said that this is a good sign if you do not have a taste or smell in your food. This is a symptom that suggests that you are infected with corona. Respiratory problems were not seen in patients who had problems with smell and taste. Their condition has not deteriorated further. But it is not yet known exactly what causes corona patients to lose their ability to perceive taste and smell.
