Best Doctors for Loss Of Smell Treatment in Karimnagar

A person with loss of smell (also called anosmia) finds it difficult to detect any odours. Loss of smell is a common temporary side effect of a sinus infection and also occurs due to traumatic brain injuries. The other factors responsible for causing loss of smell are nasal polyps, hay fever or other allergies, common cold, COVID- 19, nasal congestion, influenza, deviated nasal septum, sinus infection, alzheimer's disease, brain tumours, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, Kallmann syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome and parkinson's disease. Smoking, diabetes, obesity, taking antibiotics and antihistamines also result in loss of this sensation in an individual. The treatment methods to manage loss of smell include addressing the underlying cause, smell retraining therapy, using steroid nasal sprays or drops and in severe cases, surgical procedures to correct structural abnormalities or nasal polyps.
