Abstract

Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions are important initial symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the treatment modality for these conditions has yet to be clearly established. Therefore, most physicians have been administering empirical treatments for COVID-19-associated olfactory dysfunction, including topical or systemic steroid supplementation and olfactory training. In this literature review, we summarize the clinical course and effects of various treatments currently being conducted in patients with COVID-19-associated olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions.
Keywords: COVID-19; olfactory dysfunction; gustatory dysfunction; clinical course; treatment COVID-19; olfactory dysfunction; gustatory dysfunction; clinical course; treatment
