What Causes Unusual Smell In Nose While Using Nasal Spray And Emollient?
I getting over a head cold and have been ok the past couple of days. However I will smell onion off and on and it seems worse after my nasal spray. I also use a nasal emollient at night to keep my nose moist as I had a profuse nosebleed about 2 years ago and had to be cauterize do few times. The smell is driving me crazy and I have not had onions in a while. Thanks!
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if the smell is not due to any pathology then this could be due to "olfactory Hallucination "but this need to be differentiate but most of the time this is functional condition and you need to control your thought, be positive and particle, try some exercise, yoga, meditation these would be helpful hope this information helps, take care.
