Anosmia Questions

Several studies showed that olfactory and taste function significantly improved in patients with covid-19. For all anosmia and dysgeusia cases who received fluticasone nasal spray and triamcinolone medications the recovery of smell senses and the taste was within a week.

In the majority of cases, the smell comes back within one or two weeks, depending on the reason for smell loss. If it remains for a longer time, it is unpredictable. It can be only known by analysing the reason behind it. Anosmia is caused due to blockage or swelling in the nose. Blockage may occur due to tumours, bone deformities inside the nose or nasal septum and tumours.
