Is it possible to treat my sinusitis, which I have had for 22 months, and regain my sense of smell?

Hello doctor,

I have been suffering from symptoms of chronic sinusitis without polyps for the past 22 months. I am using Budesonide rinses twice daily, which has successfully treated my maxillary sinus infection. My ethmoid sinuses are improving too. I no longer have pain. However, I sometimes have a mild pressure that comes and goes in my sinuses. I do not have an allergy or asthma. I suffer from a reduced sense of smell and taste and mild eustachian tube dysfunction. Is it possible to treat the symptoms and regain smell? Thanks.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I could not send my CT reports, as my doctors did not give me access to my reports. All symptoms are controlled except a weak sense of smell, mild ethmoid inflammation, and weak eustachian tube dysfunction. My ENT specialist said I am reacting well to treatment, and inflammation has disappeared in the lower part of the nose with no evidence of disease. Are most of your patients able to improve and maintain a good sense of smell after medical treatment? Thank you.
