Frequently Smells Bad, Alert Can Be Symptoms of Omicron

JAKARTA – Symptoms of Omicron can be marked by kissing smelly . Currently, the official list of symptoms Omicron does not reflect the changing symptoms of the virus as it mutates so you may have symptoms without realizing it.

Although a decrease or change in the sense of smell and taste is less commonly reported now, there is one symptom of a bad smell that could be Omicron.

The olfactory and taste disorders charity Fifth Sense says that 25,000 adults in the UK have experienced a loss of the sense of smell or taste.

Although fewer people experience symptoms related to smell or taste, there are still possible Omicron symptoms to look out for.

Usually smell and taste disappear suddenly and then become distorted and the person experiences parosmia and phantosmia during recovery. Parosmia is the medical term for a distorted sense of smell.

A person with parosmia can detect smells, but the smell of certain things is different and often unpleasant. This unpleasant odor is often described as chemical, burning, sewage, rotting meat or mold.

Parosmia can range from mild to severe and can be a very distressing experience for the sufferer. Meanwhile, phantosmia is an olfactory hallucination in which normal smells appear in the absence of odors.

For example, you can smell garlic when there is no garlic. In most people, recovery is relatively fast which suggests that the virus doesn’t always kill olfactory neurons.

In addition, early research shows that more than 80 percent of people who have problems with smell make a full recovery. As with any other post-infection odor loss, these supporting cells can regenerate and the olfactory epithelium can recover.
