A member asked:
What might cause a sudden increase in smell sensitivity and difficulty swallowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible virus: Viral illness of the nose and throat can cause strange symptoms at times. By irritating the nasal lining you can get a paradoxical clearing of the nose with improved smell as well as throat irritation and inflammation. Usually the symptoms progress and change as the viral course progresses.
