Long COVID patient regains sense of smell after 2 years with new treatment.

A woman from Ohio who lost her sense of taste and smell after contracting COVID-19 in January 2021 has regained her senses after receiving a pain injection treatment called a stellate ganglion block. Jennifer Henderson, 54, had distorted taste and smell for nine months, but after receiving the treatment in December 2022, she was able to smell and taste coffee for the first time since falling ill. The treatment, which involves a series of injections of local anesthetic into the nervous system, is believed to stop it from contributing to long COVID symptoms.
