Parosmia has been reported to develop after COVID-19 and may be a sign of recovery in olfactory function following anosmia.
A dilute 0.1% PVP-I nasal irrigation as a postoperative care modality after rhinomanomesinonasal surgery does not provide additional benefit compared with normal saline irrigation.

The best practice recommendation is not to routinely use prophylactic antibiotics with nasal packing, as antibiotic use does not appear to reduce complications and is not cost-effective.
Septorhinoplasty with spreader graft placement with and without upper lateral cartilage release provides clinically and statistically significant improvement.
The ventral surface of the upper lateral cartilage can provide additional mucosa for incorporation into a superior advancement flap to achieve successful closure for larger septal perforations.

Parosmia was associated with significantly better quantitative olfactory scores but worse quality-of-life scores.
A look at how individual olfactory receptors flexibly recognize diverse odorants in terms of structure and mechanics.
Patients with CRS are likely not inherently more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection at a rate above that of the general population.
