I had a severe cold and lost my sense of smell. however it seems like there is a certain smell inside my nose. is it serious and will i get my sense back?

Recommend testing for COVID-19, as the Delta variant can present with nasal symptoms, and loss of smell is one of many cardinal signs. See an otolaryngologist for a further evaluation.
