Suggest Treatment For Hyperosmia

Posted on Tue, 21 Feb 2017

Question: After i stopped smoking in 2011 I suddenly became very sensitive to odors, like cigarette smoke and rooms that are not well aerated. I complain about finding certain smells too strong whereas other people do not smell them at all or do not bother them.
Is there anything I can do to become less sensitive to certain things like rooms that are not well aerated?
