I can't smell anything unless its like either right nxt to my nose or on it, how can i smell again, i need ur help, plz
It is possible to have an isolated cranial nerve deficit. This could be from intrauterine, birth trauma, a viral infection or possibly a developmental problem. It is not clear if this problem will resolve spontaneously.
I have a very limited sense of smell, which gets better or worse at various times. At it's worst, I can't smell instant coffee placed inches from my nose, nor a baking turkey, nor food burning on the stove (which is a bit dangerous). (I often couldn't smell dirty diapers when the kids were wearing them--I'm grateful for small blessings.) Sometimes, the sense of smell improves somewhat, so I get small or huge "whiffs" of smell, particularly the fragrance ads, shampoo & cosmetic frangrances which set off all our allergies. The irony is that the scents can set off my allergies even when I can't smell so none of us can figure out why my allergies have been triggered. Even when I can't smell AT ALL, food still has taste, though I admit it is probably not as keen as when I was able to smell better all of the time.
I've been to an ENT & other doctors and am undergoing allergy shots to help my lung function. The allergist says that if anything interferes with the nerves which allow us to smell, we m-a-y the sense of smell can permanently be lost, or m-a-y gradually come back. None of my docs can explain precisely why my sense of smell comes and goes as it does; it does not appear to be related to my allergy control or allergy shots.
Sorry not to have answers for you, but glad your daughter is doing well.
