Hi everyone. And thank you for taking the time to read this I'll try keep it short but basically I had a sinus infection for about a week and now all the congestion in my nose is clear for 2 days now but I still cannot smell anything.... Not even the slightest thing. I have even sniffed nail varnish... Whiskey right under my nose and I just feel air I cannot smell it and its worrying me it won't come back....

I cannot taste anything too that part in now so worried about but my sense of smell is so important to me.

Any help really appreciated thank you so much x

      Hello

      I don't remember the time line but at least a couple of months. I thought it was never going to get better.
