Iv had sinus surgery 3 months ago to clear sinuses and remove nasel polpys. Got the all clear but recently had blocked nose and some loss of smell and taste, more in the morning. My GP said it could be hayfever and has given me antihistpmines and nasel spray which has slightly helped. Found out that drinking doesnt help. Why is that? Does Alchol inflame the nostrols? Taste and smell usually return by midday, s this the problem? Drnking to much?
Thanks Squad,
Yes it was FESS. I think that drinking i not helping. Not going to drink much for the next two weeks to see what happens. Ifno improvement i shall go back to GP and ask to go back to ENT again. The thing i cant understand is why am i ok at bedtime yet in the morning my nose is blocked again? Its makingme a little parionoid testing my smell all the time
Jessy, when you had polyps did you have an awful smell up your nose, as ive just had a sinus x-ray to see whats going on up my nose as im getting this awful burning skin smell up mine but they cant see polyps by looking up the nose. x
