I had a severe sinus infection that was treated with a nose spray but now gone; but now I cannot smell anything and food taste very bland. Seen my Doctor and he prescribe Prednisone; just want to know if it can help me regain my sense of smell and taste back.
Can Prednisone help with my loss of smell?

Yes, it can. You have about a 30-40% chance of getting it back. Having lost your sense of smell means you are part of a large group of people, including me. Best wishes.
