What to do if the sense of smell is out of order, you can only smell the wind oil essence

It may be that the olfactory epithelium at the top of the nasal cavity is inflamed and swollen, so that the olfactory particles cannot effectively contact the olfactory epithelium, and this condition usually improves quickly as the nasal inflammation subsides.

First of all, nasal endoscopy and sinus CT examination should be completed to determine the cause. If it is acute rhinitis, the nasal mucosa is swollen and the sense of smell is reduced, a topical glucocorticoid nasal spray can be applied to the nose to quickly reduce inflammation, reduce swelling, quit compression, and restore the sense of smell. If hypertrophic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and other reasons cause it, surgery can be performed to ablate the hypertrophic mucosa, and open the drainage sinus orifice to restore the sense of smell.

If the olfactory nerve is damaged or the olfactory nerve is hypoactive due to viral infection, trauma, etc., nutritional nerve drugs are used**.

Well said on the ground floor. From the medical history, it seems that the landlord was triggered by a viral infection. In general, the loss of smell caused by viral infection can recover within half a year, but if it does not recover after half a year, there is little hope.

However, it should be reminded here that unilateral anosmia is something to be wary of, and this case comes to mind with central lesions. It is recommended to go to the neurology department of the local hospital to avoid delaying the condition.

Hello, there are roughly three common causes of anosmia: one is that the smell cannot reach the mucous membrane of the olfactory area, such as severe colds, sinusitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal polyps, etc., which will cause anosmia. This condition generally leads to the recovery of the sense of smell with the disease.

The second is that the olfactory nerve itself is abnormal, such as the virus that spreads to the olfactory nerve when you have a cold, causing the olfactory nerve to become inflamed and leading to loss of smell. This can also be effective by performing ** on the corresponding nerves. The third is that there is a neurological disorder in the brain that receives the smell message, such as brain trauma, tumor, mental illness, etc.

**Subject to availability. It should be noted that whether it is the olfactory nerve endings or the olfactory nerve center that have been damaged, if left unattended for a long time, it may sometimes cause the olfactory nerve cells to atrophy and no longer recover olfactory function. Therefore, once an abnormal sense of smell is detected, it is important to do so as soon as possible**.

For the first common situation, that is, the lack of smell caused by cold or rhinitis, it is recommended to try the method of nasal irrigation with saline. If you have a good grasp of the concentration, temperature, and operation method of saline, you can effectively eliminate inflammation and relieve symptoms.

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.
