I lost my sense of smell due to high concentration of dust. i am a using nasal spray and only after a 6 days can i faintly smell strong oders?

SUSPICIOUS: I am not sure what the dust has to do with the smell. Using nasal spray excessively is a very bad idea for the lining of the nose. Are you sure that you did not get the COVID virus?
