What Causes Running Nose With Foul Smelling Mucus?
my son has had a runny nose for a few days now....the last couple of days, his mucous has had a foul smell to it....the only way I can describe it is as "sulfuric smelling"
other than the runny nose, he does not seem to be feeling sick....no coughing.
what could be causing the awful smell?

How old is your son? He could be having sinusitis. If he is too young and he has put a small object in his nose/it could be due to a foreign body. Please visit a doctor and get it checked.
