Dear Ashley,
There is a variety of conditions that can cause loss of smell, including allergies and infections in the nose, medications and metabolic disorders. Your boyfriend should ask the hospital doctor for more explanation. If this is not possible, perhaps he should seek a second medical opinion, ensuring that there will be no language or other communication difficulties. I wish him success. Regards,
