Following viral infections there are incidences of hyposmia (diminished smell sensation ) and anosmia ( absent smell sensation). These conditions should be immediately treated with steroid nasal spray. Hyposmia have better chances of cure than anosmia. As your wife is suffering for several years she should be clinically examined to ascertain whether she will benefit from treatment.
