Losing sense of smell

Question

Asked for Female, 19 Years

I feel like my sense of smell is deteriorating. I visited a Doctor who took 5 minutes to just look into my nostrils and prescribe a nasal spray. It's been about two weeks since I've been taking it (He told me I should wait for about 4-5 weeks to expect any results) but when I do spray up my nostrils I get an uncomfortable tingling sensation in my head. I just want another professional's recommendation. Should I be concerned? Should I just continue with my medication?

Hello there. I can understand your concern. If she spent 5 minutes just looking into your nostrils, then you should be happy that he examined you thoroughly. I don't see a problem in that. Also, you haven't mentioned what spray you are taking. Anyways, yes you should wait. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
