Researchers have also found that a common symptom may be the result of damage to your taste buds.
Among a number of symptoms of COVID-19 are temporary loss taste. Experts attributed this to the effect of the virus on the sense of smell (as you know, smell affects taste). However, a new study published by JAMA Otolaryngology has shown that COVID can indeed cause direct harm to taste buds.
Researchers at the Italian University of Trieste worked with 105 people who reported «an impairment in their ability to taste sweet, sour, salty or bitter more than three months after infection with SARS-CoV-2,” reports Medical News Today.
Until now, loss of taste has been considered a symptom that resolves on its own within a few months after infection, however, the number of patients , suffering from abnormal taste sensations a few months after infection, is still increasing.
