Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Smell
Hi, I am Amit from Panipat. i am 35 yrs old suffering from loss of smell. I have undergone two surgeries of nasal polyps as suggested by the doctors here.But found no solution for this problem.Moreover when I take Methyle Prednisolone tablet I get the power to smell. is this the right medicine to get rid of this problem? If not, please suggest other options.

methyl prednisolonr (steroids )would have a temporary effect of shrinking the polyps and improving smell but unfortunately oral steroids cannot be taken long term on account of the side effects...however you could be on a steroid nasal spray on a regular basis which could give you relief
