Strange Sensation In Nose, Sinus, Congestion, Foul Smell. What Is Going On?

I just got over a child a couple days ago and like a weird nose feeling, i don't know if I have sinus or not. Well yesterday I noticed I couldn't smell anything at all, even this my nose isn't congested. When I inhale i feel like a cool breeze of air on my throat. Today I can smell out of one nostril but not the other. Will my sense of smell completely come back, and what can I do to help it come back.

Hello,
Smell most probably will come back, if there is no other abnormality.
You must get your nose examined by ENT specialist.
Normally one side of nose is blocked in comparison to the other this is because of the nasal cycle which is continuously going on inside the nose , to maintain the functional aspect of nose ,this is gods creation.
Do not get worried you can have steam inhalations so that if there is any congestion then it will clear up.
Or if you feel its more then you can use nasal decongestant drops ,but use then after consultation ,for few days only like 5-7days.
