Loss of smell, known medically as anosmia, is an inability to perceive odors. It can be partial or complete and, while rarely the symptom of a serious condition, can still cause misery for those suffering from its effects. It is usually temporary, the result of a cold or upper respiratory infection, but in some cases \u2013 especially those involving the elderly \u2013 the loss of smell may be permanent and a sign of a serious condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
