Anosmia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Anosmia is the total or partial loss of the sense of smell, which prevents perceiving odors and usually also alters the way food is tasted. It can be temporary or prolonged, depending on its origin.
Common causes: Infections of the respiratory tract, persistent nasal congestion, polyps, or alterations in the structures of the nose, among others.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable when the loss of smell lasts longer than expected, appears without a clear cause, or is accompanied by other nasal symptoms.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who studies the causes related to the nose and the respiratory tract; in some contexts the rheumatologist may also take part. If the sense of smell does not return over time, the advisable thing is to have it reviewed by a health professional.
