What Is The Reason For Having Weird Smell In Nose?
When I breathe in sometimes I have this weird smell. It is hard to describe - kind of burns but not really. Only happens occasionally - usually when I am laying down. It might last a few minutes or an hour or so. Not terribly concerning but if it lasts more than a few minutes, it does become irritating to the nose. I do not notice any odd tastes or anything.

The reason behind the odd smelling could be sinusitis "Frontal sinusitis" is likely, If I would be your doctor then I would certainly advise Nasal drops for congestion purpose number of such brand available on counter, along with that the steam inhalation is also good thing, the problem of smell will go away with this have nice day.
