Modestly improved my sense of smell

Chronic Illnesses: Long COVID
Symptoms Treated: Smell Loss - Better long time

The first treatment I tried for my smell loss was a smell retraining kit. I used it once or twice a day for about two months. My sense of smell improved slightly, but the change wasn't very significant, so I stopped. Later, I talked to an ENT who told me that to be effective, smell retraining must be performed twice a day for at least six months straight. Perhaps if I had done that, my results would have been better.
