What Is The Numbness In My Face With A Constant Smell In My Noes?

I have had this constant smell in my nose now for 5 days.. its not a bad smell. In these 5 days i've felt the left side of my face on two or three occasions go numb... i mean temporarily feel numb and as if some pressure has been applied to it. What could it be? Could there be a connection between the two symptoms. Am healthy not been taking any drugs. No teeth or digestion problems.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi, you seem to be having some sinus infection and smell in nose can be because of infected debris lying in the nasal cavity and sinuses. Numbness can also because of sinus involvement. Please get yourself examined by an ENT and you may need to undergo an X ray PNS to evaluate para nasal sinuses. Regards
