What Causes Weird Smell Of Nose, Stuffy Nose And Itching Eyes?
I have a musty/dusty smell in my nose and it s only when I m in my house but no one else smells it even when people come over I ask if my house smells musty and dusty and they say no it smells clean so I know it s not my house. What can it be. I do have a stuff nose usually at night and a sinus drain at night & my eyes are always itching. This has been going on for awhile now. What should I do. I have cleaned my house top to bottom and I still smell the musty/dusty smell.

Hi,
Its one of the presentation of Chronic Sinusitis.
before you consult your ENT doctor you may try to wash your nasal cavity by 0.9N saline irrigation on both sides twice daily. take some mucolytics and Montelukast+levocetrizine combination at night.
Within a week you will feel better, if not consult ENT Dr, for evaluation and management.
take care
