How Can Sinusitis And Nasal Congestion Be Treated?
2 months ago I got the flu and a sinus infection that took 2 courses of antibiotics to knock off. I still have some slight congestion but I seem to have lost my sense of smell. I literally cannot smell anything,food,perfume etc This has never happened before, should I be concerned? Thank you
