I woke up day after yesterday with a complete loss of smell. I got tested for covid which was negative and I am not facing any other health issues.
I also have a DNS in my nose but what else could it be?

It could be polyps but less likely that any other condition that would cause sudden loss of smell. Generally its a viral infection that causes these type of issues. May not be covid may be another virus. Anyways loss of smell comes back to normal within 3 month max. So don't worry
