SENSE OF TASTE AND SMELL GONE
Good day Stella and fellow bvs. I am writing on behalf of my mum. She s 53years old. For over a month now she has lost her sense of smell and taste. Even though rotten meat is under her nose, she can't perceive it and she can hardly get the taste of food.
She just eats because she has to. She has been to the hospital and they gave her some medications but still, no improvement.
Please has anyone gone through this? and how were you able to tackle it? Thanks and God bless.
What could be the cause of this naa? Is it old age?
ReplyDeleteWow,may God heal her.
DeleteA visit to the ENT doc should help. She needs to have her nose washed.
DeleteIt is not old age at all, neither is it sign of menopause. My advice is to visit the ENT to be sure you don't have polls because that can result in loss of smell.
DeleteNa waah.
ReplyDeleteThis is serious
The smell of sperm is the beginning of wisdom, tell your mom to start sucking dick
DeleteIs it unilateral or bilateral?
ReplyDeleteAnosmia often time leads to loss of taste aswell
Has she gone for ct scan? If no then she should
In the mean time,go see a neurologist @a reputable teaching/federal hospital
Oya oo Old mothers that read stella's blog, come and give us full info on this. I am willing to learn on this menopause
ReplyDeleteSerious ish everyday
ReplyDeletemy mums own started wen she was 47,no b small medication ooooo for almost three years. but wat helped her i believe was the use of ginger in every thing she took. now if gas the smell small nah she go raise alarm first. so be patient,its not easy but jst keep on encouraging her
ReplyDeleteHian! Doctors in the house oya o
ReplyDeleteIt is well
ReplyDeleteENT Doctor will know better.
ReplyDeleteHmmm,since there is no pain associated with it,abeg leave her alone oh!I had a neighbour who had the same issue,d family were going from one hospital to another,doctors prescribing different medication at the end of it all he died due to complications arising from different medication.J just pray,it will come back.
ReplyDeleteNawa ooooh
ReplyDeleteMay God heal her
It could be chronic sinusitis
ReplyDelete... Do take her to see an ENT (ear nose and throat) specialist..
Not to scare you or anything but please leave "off the counter medications" alone. Visit a teaching hospital and they will take it from there. I advice you go as soon as possible because worse case scenario, your mum might have a pituitary tumour. God is with you dear
ReplyDeleteExactly!
Deleteend time things oh...she needs prayers...dat all i can offer
ReplyDeleteMay you find the help that you are looking for.
ReplyDeleteI went through this for almost a year. Saw an ENT doctor who said nothing was wrong with me but he recommended drugs from augmentin to momento. Tried a lot of allergy drugs and ear drops no difference. It was an awful experience.
ReplyDeleteI took finally cyproheptadine (super apeti brand) and a few days afterwards realized I could smell perfectly well and it only cost N50. Perhaps your mum can try this.
* smell and taste perfectly well.
