Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic granulomatous condition of nose. First line of treatment would be to do regular alkaline nasal douching and glucose glycerin nose drops. If it fails then surgery such as Youngs operation is beneficial. Whatever the treatment is recovery from anosmia is not guaranteed
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
