Q. I have a dry nose and do not have a sense of taste and smell. Can you help me feel better?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You are having sinusitis for two to three days. As it is acute, you will become better soon. Sinusitis is caused by allergy or bacterial infection. As you have a cough with loss of taste, so it suggests a bacterial infection. You are using nasal spray and Paracetamol. Along with your current medicines, you can also take tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once a day for five days. You can take tablet Cefixime 200 mg twice a day for five days. Take these medicines after food.

You have an allergy or bacterial infection.

You can do CBC (complete blood count).

You seem to have a bacterial infection.

You can take antibiotics and anti-histamine.

Drink warm water. It helps to clear your throat.

Have a follow-up after five days.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
