Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The sense of smell is felt only when the olfactory nerve endings sitting at the top of the nose are accessible and receive aromatic vapors from the air we breathe. In Chronic rhinosinusitis, the anatomical changes in the nose can affect the air reaching the top, which is the reason for the loss of smell. The longer the duration of loss of smell, the longer it takes to get back the sense of smell. Eventually, the sense of smell comes back, but it takes a longer time.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I do not find anything serious here. It is just chronic pharyngitis, probably due to the problem of acid reflux for a long duration. There is something called globus pharyngeus. It is a sensation that something is present in the throat when actually nothing is there.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your history and investigation reports (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity). You have reasons to develop nose or sinus issues that can extend through a tube connecting the nose and ear. Your CT (computed tomography) scan shows deviated septum and hypertrophied turbinates. These changes affect the airflow in the nose and nasopharynx, eventually affecting the sinuses and ears.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Having enlarged tonsils is not a disease in itself. If you have pain, difficulty swallowing, or fever, you need to take antibiotics when you have tonsillitis. Enlarged tonsils can be associated with sleep apnea or sleep disorder breathing wherein mouth breathing or snoring may be present. The treatment in such a situation would be removing the tonsils (Tonsillectomy).
