Taste sensation is incomplete without smell , a person can’t taste the food completely without having a smell of it, so both the things r corelated .
I am a eNT surgeon I can guide you on this and ur condition can be supplemented with medication for quicker and smoother recovery,
Complete recovery can take up to six month
