NEW YORK: After 13-year-old Sahil Shah lost his sense of smell to COVID-19 in November, his parents looked everywhere for help. "We met with neurologists, neurosurgeons, ENT specialists, and all of them said if it was supposed to come back, it would have come back by now," said Sahil's father, Pratik Shah.

The family sought help from an unlikely source - New York fragrance expert Sue Phillips. She has helped develop and market perfumes for Elizabeth Arden, Lancome and Tiffany & Co, and now runs her own company, Scenterprises.
"So let me tell you, first of all, I am not a doctor. I'm not a scientist. I'm not even a chemist," Phillips told a client at her boutique on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

I can see almost the fog lifting. And then they can start to smell again. And it's really amazing."After visiting Philips, Shah's father said Sahil's smell is now at about 25 per cent. "It's better than zero."
A panel of experts recommended in a paper published in January in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology that COVID-19 patients who lost their sense of smell receive a form of "smell rehab" known as olfactory training.
Harvard University neuroscientist Venkatesh Murthy said some smells can trigger memories and emotions and Phillips may be on to something.
"By trying various different fragrances, maybe for a particular person, you hit upon one or two things that the leftover sense of smell is able to perceive," he said, adding there was no harm in trying to use scents to re
The media won let it end mate.
They’re going to wring every last doom laden, scare story out of this, with supposition and conjecture for years to come.
Their new enemy is people who dare to go on holiday abroad, not people who choose not to get vaccinated.
fwiw I didn’t see that as a doom, scare story but more a “here are some alternative solutions that could work to help long covid aufferers”.
Same as with mental health, feel it important the media talk about issues people are dealing with although obviously a balance.
