Loss of smell
I am having smelling problem from last 3 years. I consulted it once with a doctor 1.5 years back and as per his medicines , I was able to smell but as soon I stopped the medicine , I again loss my smelling sense. There are fractions of seconds during which I smell things in 3-4 days. Can anyone let me know if this cam be cured by any medicines without any operation? There has been twice in last 1 year that I had taken the same medicine for a week and the sense was back but as soon I stopped the same, I lost the smelling sense again.

Hi Loss of smell (Anosmia) may occur due to nasal congestion due to sinus blockage, nasal polyps or sometimes due to nerve damage. Depending upon the underlying cause, the treatment may be reversed. Please see an ENT specialist. In case of further doubts, please feel free to write back to me. Regards Dr Prashik Meshram
