Question 3

Im really worried because I seem to have lost my sense of smell completely. It's like I can't detect any scents at all and it feels like 100% of my smelling power is just gone. Could you please guide me on what treatment options are available for this?

Accepted Answer

Loss of smell, also known as anosmia, can have various causes such as sinus infections, nasal polyps, allergies, or even neurological conditions. One common treatment option for restoring smell is using nasal steroid sprays. You can try using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray can help with nasal congestion and improve smell sensation. It is important to consult with a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've had this beeping sound in my ear for the past few days. It doesn't really hurt, but when people talk, it kind of sounds like a "guyyy" noise in my ear. I'm able to hear voices, but everything feels off. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Visit your ENT doctor immediately to remove it,don't make any attempts by yourself to remove it.
