No. It actually smelled really good. It smelled like my parents house when my mom is making a pot roast. I wanted roast beef. However, with the bacterial form of mono, my lymph nodes swelled so much I could barely swallow liquids and the formed white abscesses all over them, including my throat. Then my liver became inflamed and I spent 1 1/2 days in the hospital before my mom came and took me home. It took me a full month to get over the bacterial mono. The viral infection stayed around until the end of the next month. So I was sick for nearly two months.

When I have a head cold I smell odd smells at different times. It is weird. Actually, when I am sick in general, I tend to register odd scents that may or may not be there.

When I sneeze really hard I smell a different odor than before for about 30 seconds, and then it goes away

I heard that is normal, because your olfactory senses are heightened in the moment of the sneeze.

And if you have sinusitis and sneeze, you smell something really "foul" because your inflamed sinuses. Sounds disgusting. Although the next time I have a sinus infection, I'm going to see if that theory is true.
