During a 4-week hospitalisation [loss of a kidney due to cancer] 5 years ago, I had an abdominal drain in place (via the nose) for 2 weeks plus. After this I was aware of a constant antiseptic smell and when this faded after 6 months, virtually no sense of smell at all. I also have constant stuffy nose. I do pick up occasional scents if they are very strong and sometimes detect things which don't smell right (eg. coffee doesn't smell like coffee). My GP points to nasal tract infection and says they are virtually impossible to eradicate (I only have 30% of one kidney and some medications are a no-no). Now starting to suffer loss of hearing - which might be linked via sinuses? Any advice or help would be really welcome.

Hi. I'm a 21 year-old male. I suffered from flu-like disease a week ago. I never sought a doctor since the fever and lethargy subsided after 2 days of rest, increased fluid intake, vitamins, and self-medication of over-the-counter fever and colds drugs. So, after like 4 days, my fever was totally gone, my activity tolerance went back to normal, but my colds is still present. So I continued to take medicine for it. After a week, my colds is still present but not that severe. But, I have this loss of sense of taste and smell. At first, I thought it was just brought about by the colds, but this time, I have this phantom smell, and I can't explain it, like it's in between the smell of a freshly-cut lumber and a canned biscuits. I really am worried, since I lost my appetite, and I can't detect whether a food is already spoiled or our help already sprayed insecticide. Please help me. I'm a registered but unemployed nurse. I can comprehend complex medical terms. Please, help me. It really affects my daily activities.
