Is it normal to have no smell or taste in one nostril?
joanne90Nov 13, 2015
Hello, I have been having problems with my nose (congestion and sinus infections etc) for about four years now and had a septoplasty and diathermy of my inferior turbinates 10 days ago. I was wondering though is it normal to have no taste or smell in one nostril? If I cover my left nostril I can't taste or smell but I can when I cover my right nostril. This has been like this since well before my surgery but should the surgery have helped this? Many thanks
