What Causes A Bad Smell From Nose?

hello Doctor, I have a questio. I have notice over the last 2 years that on and off for no reason at I will smell a weird ordor which I tought was coming from my soroundings. But having asked to the people around I realize that I was the only one that would smell it. Now more frequent. I have notice that this happens when I tilt my head down for mostly any period of time and is has become more difficult for me to ignore. Also I get a feeling almost like if I were breathing water through my nose. It burns a little. Could you give me an idea of what could be causing this, please?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having bad smell from the nose.
These symptoms can occur in cases of atrophic rhinitis or infective rhinitis.
Since the symptoms are present for almost 2 years, this is most probably atrophic rhinitis.


Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
