Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have strong smell of ammonia in nose. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like phantosmia , troposmia , sinuses or liver diseases. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order blood test , urine test along with CT scan for sinusitis . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for diabetes or ENT specialist for sinusitis . For now drink plenty of water , eat probiotic food like yogurt and maintain proper oral hygiene .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
