Loss of sense of smell

Did you experience a loss of sense of smell? This is called anosmia, the total loss of smell, or hyposmia, the decreased sense of smell. A strong sense of smell can affect how food tastes, how you appreciate the world around you, and even how you sense something dangerous, such as a gas leak.
Causes of Anosmia:

Some common causes include:
Upper respiratory infections, Head injury, Polyps, Neurological conditions, COVID-19
Can an ENT Consultant Help and in Which Ways?
Mr Adeel can help diagnose the condition that led to your loss of smell with a detailed history and examination and suggest the best course of action. A small camera may be used to check your nasal cavity for polyps or other abnormalities. Some patients may require further tests, like MRI scans.
Treatment depends heavily on the cause, and people may be advised to use nasal sprays or even have surgery for nasal polyps.
An early diagnosis and treatment can increase the odds of returning your sense of smell.

Living with Anosmia:
Although there may not be a definite cure for persistent anosmia, there are still ways to manage it. We can offer advice on safety precautions and enhancing taste perception.
