What Causes A Heightened Sensitivity To Smell Post Hip Surgery?

I have a heightened sensitivity to smell post hip surgery 3 weeks ago. I ve been on an antibiotic for a sinus infection but the sensitivity started before that. Everything in my house, including me, has a musty smell. What is it and how can I make it go away?

Hi,

After the recovery of the sinus problem, the smell may return. If it does not happen, you should start neurotonic as methylcobalamin and pregabalin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
