I'm having this strange issue where onions and garlic smell really bad and different to me, and it's making it pretty much impossible to eat anything that has them. It's not the usual onion or garlic scent, but something really off-putting and irritating. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I really want to figure it out and get better. Any ideas on what might be causing this, or how I can manage it?

I've recently gotten over COVID-19, but now I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and I'm not sure what to do. I'm experiencing nasal congestion and occasional headaches. During my recovery, I was on steroids40mg for five days, 20mg for two days, and then 10mg for another two days. Afterwards, I took voriconazole 200mg for four days as per the advice I received. The nasal congestion feels really uncomfortable, and honestly, it's starting to scare me a bit. What should I do about this uneasiness?

That could be Sinusitis or DNS,do steam inhalation when needed,no need to worry If it is bothering you much visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm noticing a hard bump on the side of my nose, just about an inch below my eye. I initially tried to squeeze it thinking it was a pimple, but nothing came out, and then it disappeared for about an hour before returning. Now it's hard and I'm wondering if it could be an allergic reaction to the nose pads on my glasses since I do have sensitive skin and a history of allergies. Could this really be just an allergy or should I be worried about something else?

As you said that could be Allergic reaction,do not attempt to squeeze it or scratch it, avoid triggering factors stay healthy.
