Do CECT nose, pns. Blood for urea creatinine. Do salaine wash of nose three times daily for two weeks. Do Covid test also. Start smell and taste traing. Take some mild and both pungent smell like rose, cinnamon, perfume, spice smell 20 second each every day for two times. Take faloverd food like sweet, spicy, sour, bitter food in small ammount everyday two times. Do these for three months.if viral cause then memory will help to return smell and taste. If there is any olfactory neuroblastoma or something we can see on ct scan.
