Loss of sense of smell

[weeblackcat]

Hi, I've just had a bout of flu' and although I can breathe through my nose I have absolutely no sense of smell. My taste isn't great either. It's very annoying. Is this quite common after Flu?

Belive me, Mr Ben, after having flu and my baby also suffering, smelling farts is the least of my worries.
