After recovering from a infection, it's common to get a weird smell or taste due to leftover inflammation in the nose and throat.
It can also happen from sinus congestion, mucus dripping, tonsil issues, or mild acid reflux.
These changes usually settle within 1–2 weeks.
Do steam inhalation, drink luke warm water, and salt-water gargles.
If the smell lasts more than 10–14 days or worsens, then consult
