What Cause Smell Of Blood In My Nose?
I smell blood in my nose, i know its not a bloody nose, because blood isn t coming out, I blew my nose, thinking it might help, but it did not. Earlier I accidentally cut my tounge with a lollipop, if that could have anything to do with why im smelling blood in my nose. Should i be concerned?, or go see my doctor?

usually blood does not have smell.
if u have a smell
there is something stuck in ur nose
or might be block due to mucosal edema
use saline nasal drops thrice daily for 5 days . if not relieved consult ENT surgeon to have ur nose examined
