You could have a collection of blood to the damaged area that is interfering with your brain signals. This will clear up over a period of a few weeks to a month depending on the extent of your injury.
I doubt if the loss of smell is permanent.

The receptors for smell are inside the nose, way up near the eyes. This part of the brain could have been damaged by your injury. There are many incidences of the body replicating injured cells of the type used in our sense of smell.
I hope yours regenerate.
Good luck with your healing!

A CAT Scan or an MRI may give more information to the localised damage to the brain that may be causing this problem. See a doctor. If that is difficult, consult a homeopath for help.

you may have struck an area in the brain that gave you the sense of smell, how about getting a CAT scan or an MRI, its a little on the wallet, but you shouldnt put that off.

Maybe you have a cold. Can you taste? You need to see a doctor if are sure that you can't smell. If you can smell certain things than I don't believe that you can't smell. Maybe just certain things. That's normal if you have a cold.
