Abstract
The aim of the present study was to report the reversal of anosmia within minutes in a patient with a one-month history of COVID-19. Self-reported olfactory and taste (sweet, sour, bitter, and salty) disorders and anosmia are common in patients having had COVID-19. However, there is no specific treatment described in the literature. The present study reports a case of a 23-year-old patient with a one-month history of COVID-19 and anosmia who experienced an immediate improvement in symptoms with the use of cervical and facial lymphatic therapy.
