Increased sense of smell post delivery
Hi,
I am a mother to 8 months girl and the problem I facing is increased sense of smell. I get irritated by smell of perfume, detergents, food smoke, shampoos, soaps, etc. It's so irritating but it happens on and off basis. Also, have been to an ENT doctor but no issues otherwise, like sinus or something. I had postpartum blues which has thankfully reduced considerably. Please suggest what could be the reason. It's irritating my members in the house as they feel more irritated by my attitude to stop them to use daily stuff like soaps, powder etc I even get irritated by my baby's products we use of Himalaya Johnson etc. Can't stop all that but HV to find a solution. Please help.
