My sniffer
I am curious about my seance of smell and taste and what could be the reason for.
I barely have a sense of smell or as I say none. I can't tell what a smell is like I can't tell if something smells good or bad. I can smell mint if it is really strong like a mint/peperment oil near my nose.
I have a sense of taste I can tell if I like the flavor or not but I cant distinguish a flavor really. I can not really tell the difference between pepsie or coke unless I have the two side by side and I can

Hello.... The sense of smell is a function of the nose... There can be a problem where the air is not entering into the part of nose which does the function.... The other problem can be due to problem in the nerves.... Visit a Rhinologist and he will do a nasal endoscopy to detect a problem in the nose and treatment will be started....
