Hi, I am a thirty two years old woman. I have a problem that is getting on my nerves. For some time now I have been suffering this really bad taste and smell. It always occurs when I scream, sneeze or blow my nose. Someone told me to use nasal spray but I am reluctant to do anything yet. What can you tell me about the bad taste and smell that I am experiencing?
Hi, first of all a cause of the bad taste and smell that you are having must be found. The two reasons that cross my mind that can create this condition are acid reflux and sinusitis. Acid reflux means that the content of the stomach goes back and can even get to the mouth and nose. When that happens, the symptoms are like the ones you are having. As for the sinusitis, it means that that mucus is being collected in the nose and sinuses. In time it starts to smell very bad. However, in order to be sure what is the reason that is causing you to suffer bad taste and smell, you must pay a visit to the doctor. He will also set the right course of treatment.
