Have Burning Smell In Nose, Inhaled Smoke While Doing Soldering. How To Get Rid Of This Smell?

Hi all of a sudden I have been smelling this burning smell in my nose. I don t know what is going on but I been trying to find the source, but it seems that where ever I go it follows me and its in my nose. How can get rid of this. Let me also mention that about a week ago I was doing some soldering and I think I inhale some of that smoke. I am not sure is related or not, but I never have this happen before. It just seem to be stronger when I am sitting on my laptop working. But If I move elsewhere I do not smell it right away but it catches up to me. It is just weird. I need help to get rid of this and how. Also what will be causing this? It is very uncomfortable and I am worried. Thanks

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that the experience you had with the smell soldering might have been connected.Because there will be all types of smell receptors at each spot. the superfecial receptors will show the smell concerned, a type of smell at some place. When a strong fumes, or the gas, or smoke, destroys the superfecial smell receptors are burned, the deeper receptors concerned with the smell of burning may be felt.
Other possibility is the hallucination of smell, due to some reason.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T.surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically, and multivitamins one tablet daily.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
