Covid related
Hello doctor,
Can we take ivermectin after two months of covid recovery ? I got asymptomatic covid with smell loss beinng only symptom. I followed home treatments with steaming and multivitamin tablets and only Doxycycline. My smell started restoring but it is not 100 percentage yet. What would be medication for that? Someone suggested taking ivermectin now? Is it safe to do so?

U can keep smelling strong smells in between. Like agarbati lemon perfume etc to get smell back fast. It might take some time to recover

Hello,
Nothing to worry and no need for any medications.
You might need some olfactory retraining to gain back 100% sense of smell.
