A member asked:
Enlarged turbinates cause issue breathing can smell not fully since august 2015 feels obstructed if turbinates shrink will my smell return to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enlarged turbinates: Are you on Flonase? You should be, twice a day and 2 sprays, put your head down and to the side when you do it. Your ENT can also give you a short steroid burst to see if the smell comes back. If this is not effective, the turbinates can be treated in the office and out fractured and the sensation of difficulty breathing and congestion will go away. Your ENT can help with this.
