Loss of smell
Hi 2 weeks earlier, I slept in a room with AC that was not cleaned. May be it was used last year. It had some kind of smell while blowing air. I slept 7 days in there. From then I am not been able to smell anything. I had to smell very hard to just feel a little bit of the smell of any kind. From last week I am not sleeping there but there is no improvement still. What should I do. I am fit and don't have any other disease.

Your nose and sinuses might get infection from that foul air. Better to visit any near by ENT specialist who will do endoscopic examination of your nasal cavity to find infective cause of your loss of smell sensation. They may advice to go for CT scan of PNS, if required.
