Hi Doctors, I am having cold from a week and it got mitigated a bit but from 2 days I'm feeling that my sense of smell reduced especially in my right nostril. Is it due to cold? Will my smell can be restored if yes How many days it will take. Thanks and Regards.

Loss of taste and smell is common during common cold. Sense of smell will recover once infection subsided. Relax
