A change in your sense of smell may seem small—but it can be worth paying attention to. 👃
Loss of smell, reduced smell, or noticing that familiar scents suddenly seem different can happen for several reasons, including infections, allergies, sinus problems, medications, and other conditions.
If the change is sudden, persistent, or happening with other symptoms, mention it to your healthcare provider instead of brushing it off.
Sometimes the smallest changes can give us useful clues about what’s going on in the body.
