Can Naproxen Cause Experiencing Rotten Odor Smells And What Should Be Done To Treat It?

Hi, I am 36 years old and for the past 3 months I have been experiences rotten odor smells. Ever since I have taken naproxen, because they were causing me migraines. I went to the ER and they did a CT scan and it came out negative. What is it? what do I do? I'm worried, because I keep reading about this smells and they are either strokes, epilepsy or signs of dimentia?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these smells. Naproxen cannot be the cause of this. Some migraines have as aura abnormal or strange smells. May be yours is linked to this. It is exceptional for abnormal smells to be characteristic of any of the above mentioned diseases. They have more classical signs and symptoms than smells. You need not be too worried about this.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be. I wish you well. Thanks for utilizing our services, we very much appreciate it.
