See Physician: See your physician or otolaryngologist (ear, nose & throat specialist). Possibly you have a sinus problem or infection that needs to be taken care of.

Phantosmia: Phantosmia, olfactory hallucination, may stop as mysteriously as it starts but you might want to find an ENT with experience in this condition. Or, a neurologist as some brain tumors or very early parkinson's can do it. You are probably past the age that schizophrenia could be the cause.
