Can Ageusia Go Away

How long can ageusia last? It depends. Typically, symptoms are ongoing until the underlying condition is treated. People who have ageusia as a symptom of COVID-19 usually recover in one to three weeks.

Is ageusia serious?

Although ageusia is not a life-threatening condition, it can cause discomfort. It can lead to loss of appetite, reduction in weight, and in some cases, may require discontinuation of drugs in already compromised patients; this can result in medical problems and can have a severe psychological impact on the patient.

Is there a cure for Dysosmia?

Medical treatments include the use of topical nasal drops and oxymetazoline HCL, which give an upper nasal block so that the air flow can’t reach the olfactory cleft. Other medications suggested include sedatives, anti-depressants, and anti-epileptic drugs.
