If you have a cold that causes congestion in your sinuses, how might that affect your sense of smell ?

This would affect your sense of smell tremendously this would happen because the mucus that gets lodged into your throat and eventually gets stuck in your nose, making it hard to come out when you blow it. the affects of this would be a stopped up nose. At times it may seem like when you blow your nose all the mucus doesn't come out and it doesn't. Hope this helps ~Breezy (FMOI:@fwbreezy)

It would be b. distress

Air goes past the epiglottis and into the trachea when you breathe in. from there, it goes to your vocal cords in the larynx until it reaches the bronchi. from the bronchi, air passes into each lung.
