An ENT specialist near you is the right specialist to be consulted if loss of smell is being experienced. The training and experience of an ENT specialist in dealing with medical problems and diseases affecting the nose makes them provide the right treatment for this problem.
There are a number of risk factors for loss of smell such as the presence of diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, nasal polyps, allergies, nasal tumors, deviated nasal septum, chronic sinusitis, poor nutrition, dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's diseases, brain injury, etc.
ENT specialists near you advise that preventing common causes of loss of smell such as allergies, and common colds, and taking the prescribed medication and lifestyle advice for other conditions such as diabetes, chronic sinusitis, etc., can help to improve the sense of smell.
Loss of smell can impact a persons day to day life and put them at greater risk in certain situations, however, a majority of cases of loss of smell are usually temporary, but in some cases, they can be indicative of a more serious underlying condition. It is therefore advisable to get a medical consultation with an ENT Surgeon near you if the symptoms of loss of smell are being experienced.
When anosmia is left untreated potential serious underlying conditions may be undetected, there is a reduction in the quality of life, food and drinks may become less enjoyable leading to malnutrition, etc., and also increase the risk of dangers of smoke or toxin inhalation that can be fatal.
The best doctors for loss of smell treatment in Hyderabad advise that there are a number of causes other than Covid-19 that can cause a loss of smell including the common cold, influenza, allergic rhinitis, etc.
Depending on the underlying cause loss of smell can resolve in 1-2 weeks or earlier, and in some cases can last for a few months too.
