Parosmia, 味覚障害 and long COVID

Parosmia is a distortion of smell, and often taste, in which familiar foods and scents become unpleasant or unrecognizable. It is one of the more persistent symptoms reported after COVID-19, and it can affect appetite, mood and daily life for months.

Dr. Masa has a particular interest in post-COVID smell and taste disorders and in long COVID more broadly. Evaluation looks at the whole picture, including sleep, energy, breathing and nervous-system recovery, and treatment may combine acupuncture, nutrition, smell retraining and other supportive therapies.

If you have lingering symptoms after COVID-19, call the front desk and ask for a long COVID evaluation. 日本語でのご相談も承ります。
