What Is The Reason For Persistent Discharge From One Of The Nostrils Which Has Strong Taste, Smell?
I have a persistent discharge from one nasal passage, the right one into my throat that has a particularly strong taste and smell.. I had a recent cold but I suspect that this condition was already there. Franklt it feels like some animal crawled up the back of my nostril and died. I am a healthy 76 year old male engaged in manual/rural work. I do not smoke but I am fond of alcohol in its many forms. Paddy Mahony
I have gone through your query regarding persistent discharge from right nostril and you are in suspicion as there is animate foreign body in your right nostril.
No doubt there will be some obstructive lesion in your nostril and it is possible that you may be having dead insect in your right nostril, not only insect any foreign body in nostril if remain for long time will give rise to fowl smelling nasal discharge from that nostril only.

What Is The Reason For Persistent Discharge From One Of The Nostrils Which Has Strong Taste, Smell?
Hello Welcome in H.C.M. I have gone through your query regarding persistent discharge from right nostril and you are in suspicion as there is animate foreign body in your right nostril. No doubt there will be some obstructive lesion in your nostril and it is possible that you may be having dead insect in your right nostril, not only insect any foreign body in nostril if remain for long time will give rise to fowl smelling nasal discharge from that nostril only. Beside this other possibilities are - 1- Polyp right nose. 2- Neoplasm right nose. So it will be better to consult your ENT doctor for management. Regards.
