Had 3 operations for polyps and swelling...nothing...used pulmacort to rinse out my nose.....nothing Then my doctor had me use 2 respules of pulmacort with a solution of distilled water, sea salt sand baking soda. I take a syrange and fill it 3 times with the water solution and heat it in the microwave for 11 seconds and then put in the two respules of pulmacort. What I do differtent is lay on my bed with my head hanging down and put 1 1/2 syranges of the mixed solution in each nostral. You will need a paper towel. After a few minutes I put a paper towel on my nose to prevent leaking when I rise up and go to the sink and blow out of my nose. Most of the solution comes out but you will find when you lay down or tilt your head down some more will exit your nose. SINCE I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS MY TASTE AND SMELL HAS COME BACK....JUST WANT TO PASS THIS ALONG BECAUSE NOT TASTING AND SMELLING IS A REAL BUMMER1View Thread
I lost my sense of taste and smell 4 years ago and have had multiple operations as well as daily flushed my nose with Pulmacort . My doctor at MG in Boston told me an allergy doctor told him he had some success with having the patient use 2 pulmacort respules mixed in the rinsing solution of distilled water, sea salt and bake soda. The difference is instead of simply using a syrenge over the sink and rinsing your nose you need to lay on a bed with your head hanging over the side and using a syringe fill each nostril with the solution above and let it sit for a few minutes. I tried this and can now taste and smell Alleluia ! It works try it. IF any questions I would be happy to answer them at rik1445@hotmail.com RickView Thread
