Brief Answer:
This can be paraosmia or smelling things not there

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to health care magic,

This can be paraosmia or smelling things not there due to involvement of nose centre in brain.

I would suggest you see an ENT surgeon and if necessary a Neurologist.

But wait for maybe a week more to see whether it goes away.

You can revert back.

Regards
