Hi, any acute infection in nose or para nasal sinuses can lead to these symptoms including the problem with smell sensation as congestion with mucosal edema does not allow the entry of air in the upper part of nasal cavity. Please use nasal decongestant drops, mucolytics, oral decongestants and steam inhalation. If fever is there, then use of antibiotics in consultation with your GP will be reequired. Regards
