Anosmia or sense of smell after head injury is usually due to injury to nerves which carry sense of smell. Usually this is permanent and recovery may not occur completely. Spontaneously recovery can occur but can't be assured

Next Steps

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
