Odd Scent In Nose, Chemical Like. What Is Wrong?
For the pest couple days, i have been smelling an odd scent in my nose every time i inhale through my nose. It has a weird chemical smell to it. I recently had a cough and cold and am almost fully recovered, except for this. Also, the only other time I have gotten this weird smell is when I breathe in on a tissue or toilet paper when I'm about to blow my nose.

Hi,
It seems that you might have sinus infection and congestion and pus might give rise to this problem.
Congestion in nostril and formation of crusts can give this type of smell.
Take some decongestant tablet and decongestant nasal drops for fewdays.
Take Vicks vapor nasal inhalation.
Ok and take care.
