Hi all. if,there is any alternative to steroid nasal spray to treat weakness in sense of smell after flue bcoz i have a swelling nose when using this spray after 2 months from rhinoplasty?

Saline nasal washes : Can help, your sense of smell will return on its own, may take sometime. As for the nasal swelling, you may want to revisit the ENT specialist who performed the surgery for follow-up, wish you well
