How Can Sinusitis Be Treated?
Hi, I had the flu 3 weeks ago and am doing better , but I wound up with a sinus infection and I lost my sense of smell and taste. This has been going on for three weeks now, when can I expect to regain my senses ? I am on antibiotics for the sinus infection for a week now. Thanks

Hello,
You will get it within a week. For now, since you have the infection until the course of antibiotic ends, it is difficult to say.
Try the regimen you have been given and see for one week and then get back to us.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Smell and taste sensations are impaired with cold and sinus infections. Take antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor and also start steam inhalation.
These senses will recover by itself. After curing of infection, you may take the Neurotonic drug such as Methylcobalamin and Pregabalin for early recovery.
As these are prescription drugs, please contact your local doctor so that so that he will prescribe these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
