Distorted smell and taste

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

I had covid a couple of months back and lost my smell and taste due to it. I was prescribed to take flutiflo spray and montomer-L tablet on Practo by one of the doctor because I was getting very awful smell all the time and anything that I eat tasted like chemical. I have followed it for 10 days now. A little relief is there. However, smell and taste are still distorted specially asafoetida and cumin smell and taste like hairdye. Plus i have noticed that the one side of my nose is permanently blocked (80-90%) as the bone near it covers the most part and it doesn't shift. Please suggest how to get proper smell and tatse back and what do with this nose blockage? This has been very annoying.
