Also, please check out a FB group page for Parosmia/Phantosmia.

Did you have an upper respiratory infection? Did you hit your head??

Those are two common ways to get into smell trouble. If you had an infection, your sense of smell (SOS) will likely return within 18 months. If it’s COVID-19, I’ve heard it returns shortly after the bout with the virus. In that FB group, a guy named Adrian Branch, in England, is knowledgeable and helpful. Reach out to him.

Best regards.
