Have you tried washing your nose out? Thats the only thing i can think of that might be useful. Get some betadine, use about a teaspoon of betadine and mix with 16 oz water (tall can of beer). Add salt to take the sting away, maybe 2-3 teaspoons. Then use something to squirt the solution into each nostril. Slowly squirt it into each nostril while tilting your face forward slightly until it starts running down the back of your throat and out your mouth. Then stop and sniff in gently to get everything covered. Then repeat with the other nostril. This should help to sterilize your nose and anything in there that might be stopping you from smelling. It shouldnt burn your nose much if at all. if it does you either dont have the right amount of salt or you have too much betadine. Just add some more water or salt.
This is perfectly safe, wont hurt you. just a nose cleanse.
alternatively you can buy a sinus rinse kit which comes salt packets to appropriately balance the pH of the water so it wont sting and a nice bottle to inject the solution into your nose. just add the betadine.
Let me know if it helps!
If this does not help then I would consider consulting a neurologist.
its possible that the virus damages the nerves which conduct smell sensations to your brain. fortunately these are capable of regrowing when damaged and so you may regain your sense of smell overtime without doing anything.
