Steroid may be avoided.. The anosmia could be due to other causes apart from covid also.. Like in common cold and sinusitis.. Please consult online for further evaluation and treatment

Steroids may be given, but after proper clinical and radiological assessment of the problem. However, it needs to be given at a much higher dose and for a short period and then tapered down over next 3 -4 days
