flonase loss of smell

Sorry if I have posted this question before. Any one have a loss of smell? I can not smell natural gas or my kids messy diapers. My MS doctor said she would generally send someone with a loss of smeel for an MRI to see if there was a tumor that was causing the problem but I had an MRI. I told her I thought it was from chronic allergies or sinus problems. She said sinus problems can cause loss of smell. We didn't talk about if it could be related to MS but I do wonder.

Hi, welcome to the forum, the loss of taste and smell is commonly encountered with allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, and nasal polyposis with certain drugs or zinc deficiency. It requires relief of the obstruction and treatment of the accompanying infection, if present. You need to undergo the test for Flavor discrimination test and Somatosensory testing to know the extent of involvement.

It's usually the dander and/or the saliva that causes the allergy, not the hair so I'm not sure shaving it would be of much help. I actually reduced my dog allergy by living with my two dogs--much faster exposure than shots, but it was suffering in the beginning I admit. Have you tried taking a daily allergy medication for indoor/outdoor allergies? Many of the good ones have gone over the counter now, like Zyrtec.

If it is due to injury to nose internally then this may recover. The various tests carried out to detect the cause of loss of smell is CT scan of nasal sinuses, MRI of brain, allergy testing, and blood glucose levels. This is followed by quantitative smell test which helps identifies the degree of loss. You can try smelling things consciously and eating highly seasoned foods to provide triggers to smell and taste. Please consult your neurologist too. Take care!

ve had this really weird fizzing sensation off and on at the back of my throat all day. It feels like a handful of poprocks are at the top of my throat/back of my mouth. It's a really weird suggestion. I have some acid reflux problems, but I've got a prescription acid reducer that I take for that daily so I don't think that's the problem. Could the Flonase be the cause?

Up to 40 percent of people with other viral infections, such as influenza or the common cold, experience a temporary loss of smell that usually reverses itself in a couple weeks. The condition is also common among people with allergies.

Yes I had a CT last year but not because of swelling. Dr just wanted one. It was fine. Yes he thinks Flonase might help with allergies. He will follow up in a month. If it doesn’t help not sure what’s next.

I get small white lesions on my inside cheeks and it feel like a scratch on the right side of my throat when I swallow. All started after using Flonase for several nights. Oral Thrush maybe! Any Ideas.

I fractured my skull Jan 2012 with bleeding, loss of consciousness all after a seizure. Two week later I lost my sense of taste and smell and later developed a bad taste/smell. Eating is NOT pleasant. I no longer enjoy pleasant scents. I only apply perfume I know smells good to me. I've lost 30 pounds simply because I can hardly stand the taste of food. It could be worse, I could have lost my eye sight or hearing. I try to look at it that way.

He takes the adult dosage of Zyrtec daily and uses Flonase to keep some of the allergies under control. Because of all of these allergies, I assumed the tongue issue would also be allergy related (the allergy specialist disagrees though). We have also tried Benadryl to no avail. He hasn't had a decent night's sleep in weeks. There are days that he refuses to eat because of the itch and subsequent pain from the sores. He's missed several days of school because of this.

When it happens in the right, it usually goes on for 24 hours at a time, obviously annoying enough to cause me some loss of sleep, aggravation, etc. Doctor says fluid behind ear after checking me out and looking into my ears, so I'm on flonase and Allegra-D. Today I'm sitting here, still on the stuff, and it's happening again in the right ear. Last few times I noticed it, it was when I had alcohol I thought, but doctor said probably coincidence.

Delayed symptoms include depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, seizures, loss of smell etc. Injury to olfactory and lingual nerves of smell and taste could be a cause or it could be that nerves are in shock. Once swelling and contusion following the fall will subside some taste and smell may return. However, when this will happen is difficult to say. Your father should be shown to a neurologist once. Take care!

Fever and loss of smell and taste are suspicious for COVID; consider getting tested.

I believe though that it has gotten worse over the past few years, for no obvious reason. The real thing that seems weird is in the same time frame my sense of smell has significantly decreased. I rarely smell anything anymore, on average 1 scent every other day or so, but only certain strong smells. I've researched some and they contributed it to parkinsons but I'm not that old yet. I have a cigar here and there but smoking can't be the cause.

I was referred to an ENT and he put me on a months worth of antib. with a decongestant and Flonase. This did not work either. A CT scan was done and found that I had a lot of infection in my sinus cavities, with a Retention cyst in my right maxillary sinus. The only way to get better was to have surgery. I done it and it went away. It has been 5 months, but it has returned, I started antib. early and hopefully it will not get bad.

Both said they had never met anyone with this side effect before, and my doctor seemed to want to believe that the loss of smell was due to a sinus infection I had developed. I knew it was more severe than that, as no smells at all were getting through, even when I could breathe through my nose. The pharmacist aknowledged that these were known side effects and warned me that the loss of smell might be permanent!
