I've been having some trouble with my sense of smell lately, it's been about a month now where I can't really pick up on any scents at all. I'm a 40-year-old guy, and this is starting to get a bit concerning. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

I'm a guy but my voice sounds really high-pitched and feminine is there any way to fix this? Could it be hormonal or would I need some kind of surgery to change it?

I've been feeling this full pain behind my upper lip and front teeth, and I've noticed that half of my right nasal passage feels congested. But here's the thingI'm not showing any other cold symptoms. My nose isn't runny, there's no drainage, and I'm not coughing or dealing with a sore throat. I feel a little pain starting to go towards my ears, but there's no pain above my middle nose and nothing's going on in that creek area. Any idea what might be going on with me?
