Why Having Bad Smell In Nose With Sinus Pressure And How To Get Rid Of It?
For about the past week I have had a bad smell in my nose along with some sinus pressure and a little runny nose. I m the only one who smells this, it is really strong sometimes and then may lighten up but is still there. What could it be and how do I get rid of it?

Hello,
Yes the disease could be because of the sinus infections .
You need to get done ENT consultation as they will ask you for excessive sneezing, nasal discharge, any seasonal variations, etc. Then you need to get done a CT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses to get the sinus examined , which can only be examined by a radiological investigation.
If there is disease in the sinuses you need to take antibiotics and nasal sprays and steroid nasal sprays , depending on the disease.
In doubt do reply
