I can’t smell anything, and everything I eat tastes delicious. Many netizens said that their sense of smell and taste have lost their sense of smell after becoming yang. Some people have obviously become yin, but this situation also occurs. Many people are worried that if this continues, will it completely fail? How long does it take to recover? Should I go to the hospital in this case? What to do?

Turning negative is a good thing, but it is not the end.

Many people think that they have recovered after testing antigen or nucleic acid and the result is negative. If there are still symptoms at this time, it is abnormal. But this is not the case. Turning negative is a happy thing, but it is not the end. At this time, your body is still relatively fragile. Although the immune system has won the battle, it also needs a certain amount of recovery time.

This is also true from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. At this time, the righteousness in the body is relatively weak, so attention should be paid to regulating it. Doing so will not only promote physical recovery, but also help prevent from reinfecting .

Many people still feel uncomfortable after turning negative. Loss of smell and taste is one of the transient symptoms. In addition, many people also feel that their bodies are still relatively tired. They work the same as before, but now they feel tired easily, and some people have symptoms of coughing.

My sense of smell and taste has decreased. How long will it take to return to normal?

Zhang Hui, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Jiading District Central Hospital, said that generally speaking, if local mucosa is damaged, it will take about a week to recover. There is no special treatment for this situation. Everyone’s recovery time is different, and it varies from person to person.

It can be seen that this is not permanent, but temporary. You don’t need to be too anxious and don’t seek medical treatment in a hurry.

In fact, from another perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Many people pay more attention to their diet during the days when they are yang, and avoid eating highly irritating foods for fear of aggravating their discomfort. However, after turning yin, their mentality suddenly relaxes and they feel that they can eat whatever they want, so they eat and drink a lot. Some people also take some large supplements to replenish their body.

However, the body has not fully recovered at this time, so it is not advisable to eat or drink heavily. You should still pay attention to eating lightly. The sense of smell and taste are out of control at this time. A lot of delicious food is delicious, but you won't eat too much.

Therefore, it is very important to maintain a certain mentality. Thinking on the bright side will help promote recovery. If you sigh and feel negative because of this every day, you will always give yourself negative psychological hints, which is not conducive to recovery and is not conducive to improving immunity .

At this time, what should we pay attention to in our diet?

Pay attention to strengthening nutrition and promoting the recovery of immune function , such as appropriately supplementing protein and other nutrients. Eat three meals a day on time to maintain food variety, balanced nutrition, and promote recovery.

In order to restore their sense of smell and taste as soon as possible, many people will adopt the method of "fighting poison with fire". For example, many netizens will eat some irritating and strong-flavored foods in the hope of recovery. However, does not recommend that you do this, because in the end, not only may there be no recovery, but it will affect your health and irritate the digestive tract mucosa. For people with poor gastrointestinal function, they need to pay more attention.

If you want to recover as soon as possible, you can spend a few minutes every day smelling lemons or roses for about 20 seconds each time to train your sense of smell. When cooking, you can add some spices appropriately, but be careful not to eat too much at one time.

In addition, after turning negative, everyone should also pay attention to the following things:

. Don’t rush to get vaccinated in the near future.

Although vaccination is beneficial and can reduce the risk of severe disease, according to the current technical guidelines for new coronavirus vaccination, after infection, the time of infection and the time of vaccination should generally be separated by more than half a year..

For those who have not yet been vaccinated, don’t be too anxious. Once infected, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to getting vaccinated once. There is a certain period of immunity , and the chance of reinfection in the short term is relatively low. After the symptoms turn negative, everyone should still pay attention to personal protection and wear a mask to avoid being infected again.

. Recent exercise should not be strenuous and the intensity should not be too high

Within 1-2 weeks after turning negative, it is recommended that everyone still pay attention to rest more to avoid overexertion. Moderate exercise is okay, but be careful not to do it strenuously and slowly return to your previous level of exercise.

3. Pay attention to disinfection at home.

Regarding this point, I would like to remind everyone not to overdo it. Do not disinfect large areas or excessively . Because after the virus leaves the human body, it will not survive for too long at room temperature.

Chlorine-containing disinfectant can be used in the bathroom and kitchen, but remember to wash with clean water afterwards to avoid the disinfectant irritating human skin. When disinfecting the refrigerator, remind everyone to cut off the power first.

For used tableware, water cups and other items, you can high-temperature steaming, bed sheets and other items, just wash and dry them. It is not necessary to replace everything with a new one. If it has been used for a long time and it is necessary to replace it with a new one, then replace it in time. After a general cleaning, you should often open the windows for ventilation.

To sum up, it is good news that the condition has turned negative, but we should not be too happy at this time. This period of time is also very important. It will take a certain amount of time for the immune system to return to normal. At this time, the body still has symptoms, such as loss of smell and taste, cough, etc. Don't be too anxious and don't try to wake up in extreme ways. These will generally recover slowly. If you feel uncomfortable, you can use reasonable methods to relieve it under the advice and guidance of your doctor.
