I've been on a course of Derinide AQ and Defza, and during the treatment, I got my sense of smell back. But now it's gone again, and sometimes there's this weird odor in my nose. It's been about 20 days using this nasal spray. Is there a permanent solution for this? Will I ever get my sense of smell back? What do you suggest?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called anosmia, which is the partial or complete loss of the sense of smell. In some cases, medications like nasal sprays can affect the sense of smell. To help regain your sense of smell, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help clear your nasal passages. Additionally, you can use a steroid nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. It's important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes of your loss of smell. In some cases, seeing an ENT specialist may be necessary for further evaluation and treatment.
