Could Homeopathy Be a Hope in the Treatment of Smell and Taste Loss in Patients with COVID-19?

Öz

We aimed to reveal the clinical follow-up of three patients that we applied homeopathy in order to improve the loss of taste and smell that affects the quality of life in patients with COVID-19 infection. Homeopathy was applied for loss of smell and taste based on information from three male patients aged 27, 52 and 53, respectively. Dramatic improvements were noted in patients. While conventional standard treatments of all three patients are being continued, homeopathy accompanied by or afterwards showed that the loss of smell and taste disappeared completely according to the visual analog scale assessment. In Covid-19 pandemic, which can be followed by loss of smell and taste, it was aimed to raise awareness with patients on homeopathy to ensure that patients can return to normal life quickly. However, further research is needed in the broader struggle with Covid-19, which "spoils the taste", with extensive cohort studies.

COVID-19 Tanılı Olgulardaki Koku ve Tat Kaybının Tedavisinde Homeopati Bir Umut Olabilir mi?

Öz

COVID-19 enfeksiyonlu olgularda hastaların hayat kalitesini ciddi anlamda etkileyen tat ve koku kaybının bir an önce düzelmesi için homeopati uygulaması yaptığımız üç hastanın klinik takibini ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Yaşları sırasıyla 27, 52 ve 53 olan üç erkek hastadan alınan bilgilere dayalı olarak koku ve tat kayıplarına yönelik olarak homeopati uygulanmıştır. Verilen tedaviler sonrası hastalarda dramatik düzelmelerin olduğu kaydedilmiştir. Her üç hastanın konvansiyonel standart tedavilerine devam edilirken, beraberinde veya sonrasında yapılan homeopati ile koku ve tat kayıplarının tama yakın düzeldikleri görsel analog ölçek değerlendirmesine göre gösterilmiştir. Koku ve tat kaybı bulgularıyla seyredebilen COVID-19 pandemisinde, hastaların hızla normal yaşama dönebilmelerini sağlamak için homeopati ile tedavi üzerine olgularla bir farkındalık oluşturulmak istenmiştir. Bu olgu serisi, bu konuda fikir sunmak üzere kaleme alınmıştır. Ancak “ağızların tadını kaçıran” COVID-19 ile daha kapsamlı mücadelede, geniş kapsamlı kohort çalışmalarıyla ileri araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
