What causes the loss of smell in the nose

**Persistent loss of smell and taste in the absence of an obvious cause (e.g., cold) is called olfactory malfunction. The most common cause of anosmia is allergic sinusitis. Nasal polyp. Cold virus infection.

It is recommended to be timely**, and Guiyuan Yiqi soup can be adjusted and restored.

A normal sense of smell must depend on two aspects, one is the olfactory cells of the nasal cavity, which have normal sensory function; The other is olfactory conduction, the conduction of the olfactory center function normally, if there is a problem in this loop, such as nasal diseases, such as sinusitis, nasal polyps, causing nasal blockage or nasal inflammation, may affect the sense of smell loss, or severe may be lost, it is relatively long. In addition to diseases of the nasal cavity, certain lesions occur in the olfactory center or the conduction process of the sense of smell, which may also cause partial loss or permanent loss of the sense of smell, which may cause the sense of smell to malfunction.

The most common nasal disease of hyposmia is atrophic rhinitis, the main symptoms of which are dry nasal mucosa (dry nasal crust), hyposmia, epistaxis, headache, and self-perceived nasal congestion (not true nasal congestion, but sensation caused by sensory nerve atrophy of the nasal mucosa or excessive obstruction of the nasal cavity by dry nasal crusts). Atrophic rhinitis** is unclear and may be related to vitamin deficiency, trace element deficiency, endocrine disorders, bacterial infections, etc. It is recommended that you take vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin AD, vitamin E orally, zinc gluconate orally, and rinse your nasal passages daily with warm saline.

If the smell in the nose is strong, it may be a rhinobacterium infection, and streptomycin nasal drops can be used. Usually stop smoking and drinking, eat a balanced and nutritious diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and stay away from dusty environments.

**Persistent loss of smell and taste in the absence of an obvious cause (e.g., cold) is called olfactory malfunction. The most common cause of anosmia is allergic sinusitis. Nasal polyp.

Cold virus infection. Rhinitis virus infection. Head trauma.

Sulfur dioxide, nitride, and formaldehyde left in the interior after renovating the house can all be caused. Long-term perfume spraying can also cause. The volume of the "Chinese Tibetan Sutra" is considered to be pulmonary wind.

The Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases, Volume 29, "Nasal Urn Waiting", says: "If the wind is cold and hurts the viscera, and the evil qi is multiplied by the Taiyin meridian, and its qi accumulates in the nose, then the fluid is congested, and the nasal qi is not announced, so it does not know the smell and is the nasal urn." "For the sense of smell, Guiyuan Yiqi selects fine pungent and saffron, dried ginger, skullcap, licorice, parsnip, etc. as the main medicines, and treats those who do not know the smell of evil qi entering the lungs.

Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that the fengfeng of Guiyuan Yiqi decoction enhances the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and wind-dispelling effects.

According to the data analysis, olfactory failure is a difficult disease of the nervous system, and there is no better way to treat olfactory failure under current medical conditions.

Generally speaking, if there is a problem with the olfactory epithelium on the top of the human nasal cavity, it will lead to olfactory failure, such as inflammation and swelling of the olfactory epithelium, which will lead to a temporary failure of the sense of smell.

In general, if the sense of smell is caused by this condition, it will be improved with the alleviation of nasal inflammation, and there will be no long-term effects and no problems.

In addition, if an external virus directly enters the body and infects the olfactory epithelium, even if nasal breathing is possible, it will cause olfactory failure.

Olfactory dysfunction caused by the virus is more difficult, and nasal hormone sprays can be used to alleviate the symptoms, and if the symptoms do not improve, you need to go to the hospital**.
