no sense of smell or taste
During winter of last year, I got the flu and lost my sense of smell and taste. I went to a doctor and he gave me nasal sprays for two weeks, but no result. I still can not smell anything or taste anything. Please advise. Thank you
Hesham Darwishthere can be numerous reasons for that,for example the development of nasal polyps can block olfaction and reduce gustatory response. there are other possibilities as olfactory nerve injury by viruses as COVID-19 ... assessment is the primary step.
obviously what you caught wasn't an ordinary flu but a COVID infection which can lead to an aggressive form of nerve insult that lead to the symptoms you mentioned. You might start to take supplements rich in zink and vitamin b that might help ISA
