The common cold is a frequent cause for a partial, temporary loss of smell. Chronic sinus infection also may result in a loss of smell. Other obstructions in the nasal passages, such as polyps, also may cause at least a partial loss of smell. Normal aging is often the cause of a progressive, complete, and permanent loss of smell.
When we lose our sense of smell with a cold itâs because congestion restricts airflow to the top of the nose, stopping those microscopic particles going up the nostril. This is temporary, but damage to the sensory cells or the smell area in the brain can cause a lasting loss. âCauses can include head injury, or more rarely Parkinsonâs or Alzheimerâs. But often itâs down to more mundane causes,â says Mr Philpott.
