Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on public health around the world. Patients who have suffered from the disease face a number of complications and consequences, including problems in the field of otolaryngology and audiology. Coronavirus infection SARS-CoV- 2 causes damage to the respiratory tract, manifested in a mild form with rhinorrhea, loss of smell and/or taste, and in a severe form with pneumonia and fever. Mostly, patients complain of respiratory symptoms, for which the most promising for rehabilitation are the first two to three months after the acute period of coronavirus infection. In this study, we analyzed the health status of otolaryngology patients after COVID-19 and examined the challenges faced by specialists in the post-Covid period. The purpose of this study is based on assessing the health status of ENT patients after suffering from COVID-19 illness and identifying the problems faced by otolaryngologists and audiologists when treating patients in the post-Covid period. Assessment of health status after COVID-19 disease
includes a comprehensive laboratory examination to assess the condition of organs and systems that are most often affected by COVID-19 disease. In this study, we analyzed the health status of ENT patients after COVID-19 and examined the challenges faced by specialists in the post-Covid era.
