What Causes Loss Of Sense Of Smell After Excessive Crying?
Hello, on Saturday my dog had an emergency and it made me cry so much the whole day. Since then my sense of smell is off! I can barely detect any smells and I m wondering if this is because of all the crying. Will it return to normal or should I be worried? Thank you
