Ability to smell / Nasal steroid rinse
This was until last week when the ENT just placed me on a very low-dosage steroid nasal rinse. This was to get rid of any swelling before my follow-up CTs. Well, oddly enough the decreased swelling must have cleared up my smelling nerves because I've been able to smell for a couple weeks straight!
Obviously my sense of smell is still intact, but I don't know if it will remain so after I come off the steroid rinse. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions with this?
Pura vida!

Hi Lindsey
I do a lot of sinus rinse for NPC but none of it affected my sense of smell, I guess it is possible that the steroid could be blocking the smelling nerves. Did you call and ask your ENT about thins side affect, if not I would do it as soon as you can.
Take care
