Though some pharmacological investigations offer promising preliminary results for systemic and topical medications alike, a paucity of high‐quality studies limits the ability to make meaningful evidence‐based recommendations for the use of these therapies for the treatment of PVOD. A focused literature search was performed using a combination of the following keywords: "post-viral olfactory dysfunction," "anosmia," "dysosmia," "parosmia," "olfaction disorders," "olfactory impairment," "olfactory disturbance," "olfactory loss," "smell disorder," "viral infection," "virus," "viral disease," "common cold," and "respiratory tract infection." Additional records were identified by examining the references of articles obtained for review. Studies investigating the effects of medical, surgical, or olfactory training interventions on olfaction in patients with PVOD were included. In regard to antibiotic treatment, 1 RCT of 55 patients with PVOD studying minocycline demonstrated that the medication was well tolerated, but there was no difference in overall TDI scores between the group receiving minocycline and the group receiving the placebo (p = 0.55).	./cache/cord-324453-gei7os7s.txt	./txt/cord-324453-gei7os7s.txt
