Is There A Way To Identify The Cause Of Anosmia And Treat It Without Medication?
I am 60 yrs old and have lost my sense of smell. The doctor had me take prednizone and my smell came back, but after about a month it was gone again. I had a root canal and the dentist prescribed a steriod for the inflammation and my smell came back again but for a shorter time period this time. Is there a way to get to the bottom of the problem instead of just taking medication?
