you have nasal block so you're not able to appreciate the smell...first the reason for your nasal block has to be diagnosed ...it can be a simple deviation of nasal septum to polyps in your nose ...so need a detailed history & examination and if necessary a CT scan paranasal sinuses
Next Steps
Take ENT online consultation if you have any other questions

Please come down to my clinic Y S Desai Specialty Healthcare. Ours is a full fledged diagnostic center. Let me examine you and get a high resolution CT scan of your nose to diagnose the cause of your anosmia. This will help me plan the right mode of treatment to resolve your problem.
