Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

ENT: Evaluation is needed, surgery isn't the first line of treatment for affected sense of smell, you can have engorged turbinates due to chronic inflammation, that can be due to allergies, and can be medically treated first. History and physical exam are important by a specialist, good luck
