Nosing In on Kids Who Had COVID-19 and Lost Their Sense of Smell

Orange. Eucalyptus. Lavender. Peppermint.

Doctors at Children's Hospital Colorado and Seattle Children's Hospital will use scents like these to treat children who lost their sense of smell due to COVID-19. Parents will attend clinics and go home with a set of essential oils for their child to sniff twice a day for three months. Clinicians will check their progress monthly.
