What Causes Unpleasant Metallic Smell In Nose?
For about 2 weeks I have had this continual bad smell in my nose, hard to describe, maybe metallic, definitely not a pleasant odor, driving me crazy! I just had the thought that my dad & more recently my brother both died of brain tumors. That's the last thing I want to dwell on.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having bad smell in nose. This can be because of causes in the nose like atrophic rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinus related infections....
The treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
