A cousin of mine has not been able to percieve smell/ odour for as long as she can remember. I noticed this condition recently when I visited her. Please what is this medical condition called. Is there any remedy to this medically? Please I need an answer from any ENT specialist asap.

If its from birth,it must have been inherited and there is little that can be done about that.
The name of the condition is Congenital(inherited) Anosmia.It could be as a result of an inflammation of the nasal mucosa(wall),blockage of the nasal passage or damage to the temporal lobe.It could also mean that the olfactory nerves have been damaged or severed.
However,she has to visit an ENT clinic for proper check-up and tests to enhance treatments,or at worst,management.A glucocorticoid nasal spray would also be of immense help.

Thank you.
She has visited ENT specialists several times with no remedy. She is currently preparing to undergo further treatment abroad. I pray that the much needed help will come.
