I HAVE HAD STREP BEFORE I AM NEGATIVE now never had anything close to this. I am on an antibiotic. It can't be just from sinus. My teeth are in good shape.

Hi..
Thanks for the query,..

As per your complain bad odour from nose when you suffer from sinusitis is commonly seen as sinuses drain through nose as well as bad taste can be due to post nasal drip due to infectious drainage of mucous from the sinuses into the back of throat..

As you are already on antibiotic and if you have already takes it for 5 days and if there is no improvement then you should consult an ENT Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and sinus x ray should be done..

He can change the antibiotic and along with it you can also be advised to do steam inhalations with a few drops of eucalyptus oil in boiling water..
Along with it use decongestant nasal sprays and do warm compresses around nostrils..

In case if conservative treatment does not help then Endoscopic sinus surgery can be advised for relief..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
