Hello. Your loss of smell is probably due to the polyps. They are preventing air to come into contact with the olfactory mucosa of your nose. You need to speak to your Doctor and obtain Acyclovir and begin using Avamyse spray. This should make the polyps disappear. If they don’t disappear, you will require to have them removed surgically. But remember that the damage done to the olfactory system may be irreversible. please consult your Doctor as soon as possible. Regards.
