Hullo Anu, viral fever or simply Flu may affect the sense of smell, usually temporarily. Be patient, you may regain it gradually. However if it persists for lets say, more than 6 months, I think you should consult a Neurologist or ENT specialist. This sometimes also occurs with taste sensation. Hope you recover soon.
