Bad Odor In Left Nostril, Regular Mild Headaches, Suffer Short Term Memory. Is It Brain Tumor ?
I have a bad odour in my left nostril and have had this for aprox 3 months. It is most apparent once I have rubbed my nose. I thought it may be blood vessels of sinus etc, but I now seem to have mild headaches regularly. My short term memory isn t as great as it could be but I have a very hectic stressful life at the moment. After checking on line....it mentioned brain tumour hence I am now slightly concerned.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM
You have
1.Bad odor in left nostril

These all finding suggestive of rhinosinusitis not brain tumor , For confirmation you may go for X Ray PNS or Consult with ENT specialist.
For this disease yo may take course of proper antibiotic, nasal decongestant , nasal douch , vicks inhalation etc.
Thanks
