Bad seasonal allergies that no meds respond to. now can't smell or taste anything. is this normal? what can i do to gain senses back? help!

Not normal: I think it's time for you to consult an allergist. Do note that sinus infection can also cause loss in smelling or taste function.

I have a weird smell internally in my nose thats hard to describe. I have allergies. I saw an allergist and was prescribed nasacort & azelastine which helped it for a while but now its back. What could it be???
I have been having allergies really bad this week. I have been taking Zyrtec and Mucinex D since last Sunday. Friday I added generic Flonase. I have not had any fever at all. Yesterday afternoon I noticed a loss of smell. I know there are reports of others saying theyve lost smell and taste while on Flonase. I also know that is a symptom of COVID. From what Ive read and heard, if this was COVID Id feel a lot worse and have fever. What are your thoughts? Loss of smell?
I had covid back in Dec. 2020. Very mild only loss of taste and smell no other symptoms. Today I woke with a stuffy nose and slightly scratchy throat. Can you get covid twice and if so, how soon after initial diagnosis? Could this be allergy or cold?

I have been tasting and smelling a foul taste and smell with everything I eat. I had COVID 4 months ago and lost taste and smell but it came back completely normal with no issues. Now I am having this problem 4 months later. Can it be from meds?
