Hi I Hope You May Be Able To Help. I
Hi I hope you may be able to help. I have lost my sense of smell since a heavy cold last April.
I am 65 years old. I also have a slightly bent septum.I have been to the hospital where they had a look with the camera and they say everything is fine. I also have a pungent smell most of the time. When I spray hair laquaire and some perfumes it is worse. The hospital gave me nasonex spray but hasn't made any difference. I read in the paper that now my life expectancy is only 5 years.because of this loss of smell. As you can appreciate I am more than a little concerned. Thanking you in anticipation
