I developed a sinus infection as a result of a cold nearly 2 months ago. I was put on doxycycline for 2 weeks and then a steroid nasal spray when the inflammation in my nose had not resided. I can smell things quite clearly up close to my nose but smells from a distance seem to come and go. I cannot really taste anything at all. I am now on a course of Amoxicillan and Prednisone to try and get rid of the inflammation once and for all. I also had a CT Scan which did not show any blockages just some mucous and inflammation. If I burp I can taste my food. Does this mean I will get my taste back when everything clears up? How long could this take? I still feel tightness in the bridge of my nose and one nostril still seems more blocked than the other. I am sooo scared that I will not go back to normal and will not be able to taste and smell again and have a constant nauseous feeling but wonder if this is being caused by stress.
Thanks for your help.
