I m having a bad smell in the nose every now and then when I sniff, it started 2 days ago. The smell is that of a bad smelling dairy product, not very pleasant, I brush my teeth 2 times a day and blow my nose regularly, I do have mucus build up though.
Hi. This is called Foetor. This is called Foetor in medical language. You have a history of blockage of one nostril. SO this can be Due to Chronic Sinusitis, the sinus can have pus which gives you the feeling of Weird smell. I would advise you to have a consultation with an ENT Surgeon, get Clinical examination done; CT scan of the Sinuses and an X-ray of the chest is mandatory. Get the treatment according to the reports. IF the CT scan is normal we can consider the possibility of a problem in the Sensory System and you may need an opinion of a Neurologist.
