Suggest Treatment For Eye Irritation And Weird Smell
Question: For the past week I can smell what seems to be car exhaust. I can change cloths, shower, and it won't go away. I even have the eye irritation
Brief Answer:
supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
i read your question and i understand your concern. History of foul smell despite adequate hygiene measures should be ignored if there is no other pathology like over sweating, thyroid issue, some medications use that can cause hypersweating or any other cause for it. If you sweat alot, get it evaluated for the cause. if you don't then still get evaluated to get your smell functions / olfactory sensations analysed. if every thing clear then may be its mere an anxiety and needs supportive care. Talk to a doctor and let them narrow the possibilities for you.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
