What Causes An Altered Sense Of Smell Along With Headaches And Tingling In Mouth?
Brief Answer:
Brain disease needs to be excluded.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms need further evaluation as we need to exclude a brain disease affecting th olfactory system (concerned with smell).
MRI of brain would be useful in your case.
In addition, we also need to check the level of vitamin B12 so as to exclude a vitamin B 12 deficiency.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
