Hi,
Smell and/or taste problems can be caused by trauma to the head. There is no known treatment for such problems caused by head trauma. Some patients will get better with time, although this may take years. Spontaneous recovery has been reported for smell function, with the majority of patients showing improvement within 3 months of injury. Please consult an ENT surgeon and neurologist. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
