The nose is ventilated but can not smell how to

If the nose is ventilated but not smelling, the first step is to visit a specialist for nasal endoscopy to rule out destruction of the nerves in the olfactory region caused by an occupational lesion in the nasal cavity and sinuses. If organic problems are ruled out, hormonal shock therapy with oral prednisone or methylprednisolone tablets for 3-5 days can be considered. At the same time, 1-2 nasal rinses and intranasal spray of glucocorticoids can be given to relieve the nasal mucosal edema and, if necessary, oral antibiotics such as Clarithin. Along with nasal rinses and oral medications, patients are advised to train with strong stimulation of the olfactory area, such as smelling irritating odors, performing alternating tests, such as also smelling vinegar or white wine, and exercising 2-3 times a day to shock the compensatory effect of olfactory cells in the olfactory area.
