Hello,
You have not written your age and sex ?
Anyway youshould get doen a ENT consultation done to ---
Get examined for any swelling or mass in the nose or any bleed .
Secondly get done a CT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses to see for any mass.
The change of sense of smell could be one of the reason if you do not find any blood
