How Can An Altered Sense Of Smell Be Treated?
I had cancer surgery to remove a tumor in my left cheek sinus cavity. After surgery, chemo and radiation treatment I have a bad odor coming out of my nose; it is very strong and I feel embarrassed going in public with that odor. What can I do to get rid of that odor?

Hello,
Bad smell from nose can be because of a number of reasons like nasal polyp, sinus infection etc. I would advise you to get yourself checked by an ENT surgeon who will do a clinical examination to assert the cause. Fluticasone nasal spray work well for nasal odor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
