Is there any particular reason for this change?
Also does body odour change as part of post-covid symptoms?
Also what is the solution to get it rectified?

Body odor occurs when sweat is retained on the skin for a long time.
Try to avoid occlusion dressing, which causes the sweat to remain on the skin.
It is advisable to wear cotton clothes.
Try to take body bath atleast 2 times daily.
