Nose clear but no loss of taste or smell?
I've had a cold for a week now, and since then, I've had neither taste nor smell. This morning, I could actually taste and smell something, but only briefly… My nose is completely clear again, but I still can't smell or taste anything. Why?? I can't stand it anymore… is there really nothing I can do about it? Nasal spray only clears my nose, but I still can't smell or taste. 😒
In the case of such diseases, sense of smell or taste can be quite too temporally limited affecting these senses. A drug might also play. Are you taking antibiotics or something else about your illness?
No, I’m not taking anything until sometimes the nasal spray.
The sense of smell and taste can also suffer from the excessive use of swelling nasal spray.
Here are the reasons:
* Wool nasal mucosa: The swelling effect of the spray results in the nasal mucosa strongly swelling. As a result, the odor cells in the nose can be achieved worse, which leads to an impairment of the sense of smell.
* Dry nasal mucosa: nasal spray dries out the nasal mucosa. The smell cells, however, need a damp environment to function optimally.
* Damage to the odor cells: When used permanently, the nasal spray can damage the odor cells, which can lead to a permanent loss of the sense of smell.
Since odour and taste are closely linked to one another, an impairment of the sense of smell can also lead to a change in taste sensation.
What can you do?
* Reduce application: Use the nasal spray as short as possible and not more often than recommended.
* Use alternative: try nasal flushing or inhaling.
* Doctor: If you already notice an impairment of the sense of smell or taste, you should consult a doctor.
This is a well-known episode of Corona. Maybe you weren’t just cold.
Can also occur in other virus infections such as influenza zb
Oh, okay.
a Corona test I have already done that has been negative..
