Prije otprilike mjesec dana imala sam jaku prehladu; curenje nosa, glavobolja, opšta slabost, kašalj. To stanje je prošlo za otprilike 7 dana, kašalj je trajao nešto duže. Međutim, od tada mi je čulo mirisa van funkcije, apsolutno ne osjetim nikakav miris.Pokušala sam da se inhaliram ali nije pomoglo.Napominjem da sam od terapije koristila sljez, čajeve i Coldrex. I čulo ukosa je oslabljeno ali ne sasvim. Ovakvo stanje mi sve više smeta, molim Vas za savjet.Unaprijed hvala.

Da ne gubim vreme pišuci o tome evo vam mišljenje koje je dala AAORL (American Academy of Otolaryngology).
Ovo mozete procitati i sami na ovom linku:

A taj test je isti kao i ovaj:

What causes smell and taste disorders?
Scientists have found that the sense of smell is most accurate between the ages of 30 and 60 years. It begins to decline after age 60, and a large proportion of elderly persons loše their smelling ability. Women of all ages are generally more accurate than men in identifying odors.
Some people are born with a poor sense of smell or taste. Upper respiratory infections are blamed for some losses, and injury to the head can also cause smell or taste problems.
Loss of smell and taste may result from polyps in the nasal or sinus cavities, hormonal disturbances, or dental problems. They can also be caused by prolonged exposure to certain chemicals such as insecticides and by some medicines.
Tobacco smoking is the most concentrated form of pollution that most people will ever be exposed to. It impairs the ability to identify odors and diminishes the sense of taste. Quitting smoking improves the smell function.
Radiation therapy patients with cancers of the head and neck later complain of lost smell and taste. These senses can also be lost in the course of some diseases of the nervous system.
Patients who have lost their larynx (voice box) commonly complain of poor ability to smell and taste. Laryngectomy patients can use a special „bypass” tube to breathe through the nose again. The enhanced air flow through the nose helps smell and taste sensation to be re-established.
How are smell and taste disorders diagnosed?
The extent of loss of smell or taste can be tested using the lowest concentration of a chemical that a person can detect and recognize. A patient may also be asked to compare the smells or tastes of different chemicals, or how the intensities of smells or tastes grow when a chemical concentration is increased.
* Smell. Scientists have developed an easily administered „scratch-and-sniff” test to evaluate the sense of smell.
* Taste. Patients react to different chemical concentrations in taste testing; this may involve a simple „sip, spit, and rinse” test, or chemicals may be applied directly to specific areas of the tongue.

Can smell and taste disorders be treated?

Sometimes a certain medication is the cause of smell or taste disorders, and improvement occurs when that medicine is stopped or changed. Although certain medications can cause chemosensory problems, others-particularly anti-allergy drugs-seem to improve the senses of taste and smell. Some patients, notably those with serious respiratory infections or seasonal allergies, regain their smell or taste simply by waiting for their illness to run its course. In many cases, nasal obstructions, such as polyps, can be removed to restore airflow to the receptor area and can correct the loss of smell and taste. Occasionally, chemosenses return to normal just as spontaneously as they disappeared.

What can I do to help myself?
If you experience a smell or taste problem, try to identify and record the circumstances surrounding it. When did you first become aware of it? Did you have a „cold” or „flu” then? A head injury? Were you exposed to air pollutants, pollens, danders, or dust to which you might be allergic? Is this a recurring problem? Does it come in any special season, like hayfever time?
Bring all this information with you when you visit a physician who deals with diseases of the nose and throat (an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon). Proper diagnosis by a trained professional can provide reassurance that your illness is not imaginary. You may even be surprised by the results. For example, what you may think is a taste problem could actually be a smell problem, because much of what you think you taste you really smell.
Diagnosis may also lead to treatment of an underlying cause for the disturbance. Many types of smell and taste disorders are reversible. But, if yours is not, it is important to remember that you are not alone. Thousands of other patients have faced the same situation.

U linku koji sam naveoranije mozete nešto više procitati o ovome ali mislim da vam je odo dovoljno.
Ukoliko imate problema sa jezikom napisite pa ću vam u kratko prevesti kao sto obično i dajem odgovore.

Sve najbolje Galeb.
