How Can Loss Of Smell And Taste Due To Sinusitis Be Treated?
I had sinusitis recently (early July thru mid August), took a 10 day antibiotic and got better. However, starting a few days prior to beginning the antibiotic, I lost my sense of both smell and taste. That was nearly 6 weeks ago. I still have nothing. Is there anything I can do? Is there anything a doctor can do for me?

HI
Well come to HCM
I appreciate your concern, if this was the inflammatory condition of inner nose then it destroyed the cells which works in smell sensation but it absolute temporary condition and soon it will comes to normal one, till the you can try steam inhalation better try to avoid the blowing of nose drink more water hope this information helps.
