To: Dear Rustydog,
Parosmia - Abnormal odor sensations or the presence of strange odors in the absence of a stimulus.
Phantosmia –A smell that occurs in the nose without the presence of an external stimulation vapor. An olfactory hallucination.
Please consult a neurologist for further treatment.
It may be some defect with your olfactory system or some thing is pressuring your olfactory nerve.
If it is with your nasal spray the sensation would go after the drug is metabolized in your body so my advise is you consult a neurologist!
Take care
