What is the reason for the loss of sense of smell and the serious decline of taste after a week of nasal septum deviation surgery?
This is normal. During the period when the surgical wound has not recovered, the mucosa is still in the stage of edema because of the operation, which leads to increased secretion and nasal congestion. At this time, the sense of smell decline is common, because the smell conduction is not smooth. As long as the edema is slowly eliminated after the surgical wound is recovered, these symptoms may recover on their own. So please rest assured, take good care of your nose after operation, don't catch a cold, and wear more clothes.

After the operation, the sense of smell will fail, which is temporary and will return to normal in about three months. The time for the wound to heal completely varies from person to person.

Keeping the medicine after operation, cleaning the nasal cavity in time according to the doctor's advice, reviewing in time and doing other behaviors that are helpful to recovery can strengthen wound healing. At present, minimally invasive endoscopic treatment has little damage to nasal mucosa and rapid recovery of sense of smell after operation. You can come to Tianjin Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.
