Hello..I have been having a tooth ache for some time now..so far i have lost my sense of smell in my left nostril. i went to the ENT and he said my sinus was fine. i also have a stuffy nose and post nasal drip. could this be due to the toothache? which i think has gotten infected. i am on antibiotics now, but i still have the ache and no smell in left nostril..
Hi, Thanks for asking the query,toothache can have affect on the palate, as you have mentioned you have stuffy nose, so loss of smell can be due to ENT problem, I would suggest you to visit to ENT Specialist and get the checkup done. For toothache an x-ray of the affected tooth is required, and root canal treatment has to be performed. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics prescribed by the Dentist. Hope this helps out. Regards.
