Any Suggestion For Unable To Smell/taste After Having Sinus Infection And Bronchitis?

I have not been able to smell or taste for about 4 months after a bad sinus infection and bronchitis. I saw doctor at that time and took antibiotics and steroid shot. I take Allegra D on a regular basis. Several years ago I had surgery on my sinuses. I often have sinus infections and cannot smell or taste for a few weeks, but have never gone this long; also loosing weight. What would you recommend?

Thanks for your query...after reading the history given by you i think in my personal capacity that you might be having sino-nasal polyps...taking allegra-d contonuously is not the solution.. you should visit an ent doctor and get your nasal endoscopy done and a CT- PNS should be done to establish a diagnosis and accordingly you'll be treated.I hope you got the answer.
