A member asked:
How long can can sense of smell loss last with sinusitis or after sinusitis is gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loss of Smell: Your smell and taste usually returns within a few weeks. If it doesn’t see an ENT specialist... you could still be infected, polyps can develop to block the smell and viruses can cause long lasting or been permanent loss of smell and taste.
