Hello, thanks for posting the question to H.C.M.C.
Hydrogen Peroxide is a main ingredient in bleach and due to the pungent smell of this your's nostrils smell senses have brunt ( mildly) so temporary loss smell is there.
Don't try to take any medicines for this because your's smell senses will recur with 7-10 days time .
Other thing which you can do is start morning walking in fresh air for few days or till recur your smell sense.
Inhale very fast and exhale very fast 10-15 times twice in day and you will get relief much earlier.
Need not to worry for these small thing as these things harm your body in many way.
Have a good luck. Dr. HET
