Not able to smell the food properly

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi doctors, I have not lost the sense of smell but I am smelling weird kind of strong smell from every cooked food, sweat etc It's same kind of smell.. strong.. kind of onion.. I am not sure. Though I am able to smell good fragrances etc from deo and perfumes but I am disliking the smell from cooked food like dal, sabji etc, even from dark chocolate and coffee also not smelling nice to me. Sometimes I don't want to eat it. I have cleaned all the things, none of my family is experiencing the same but me. Please suggest what it could be and If there are any home remedies or should I get to see the doctor? I don't have any other symptoms. Thanks in advance :)
