Sinus infection?: It sounds like you may have a sinus infection. Try using nasal saline several times a day or using a neti pot. Decongestants may also help or antihistamines if you think this may be related to allergies. If it persists for more than 3 weeks then see a doctor since you may have an infection requiring antibiotics. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Inflammation: Allergies or viral illnesses will cause you to need to blow your nose a lot.  They can also cause inflammation that will affect your sense of smell.

See a doctor if the small does not return after other symptoms resolv.
