In recent years, the loss of smell, medically known as anosmia, has gained significant attention, especially due to its association with COVID-19. This loss not only affects one’s ability to enjoy the aroma of food but also poses safety risks and impacts overall quality of life. Anosmia can result from various factors, including viral infections, nasal polyps, head trauma, or neurological disorders. However, it gained widespread attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, as loss of smell emerged as a prominent symptom of the virus.

While many cases of anosmia related to viral infections are temporary and resolve on their own, a significant number of individuals experience persistent anosmia, which can profoundly impact their daily lives.

Olfactory Training:

One of the key interventions advocated by Dr. Pathania is olfactory training, a structured regimen that involves exposure to a variety of scents to stimulate the olfactory nerves and promote neural plasticity. This approach aims to retrain the brain’s olfactory pathways, potentially restoring lost sense of smell over time.

Nasal Irrigation and Medications:

Dr. Pathania emphasizes the importance of maintaining nasal hygiene through saline irrigation, which helps clear nasal passages and reduce inflammation. Additionally, he may prescribe medications such as corticosteroids or antihistamines to alleviate nasal congestion and inflammation, thereby improving olfactory function.
