Foul Smelling Sneeze

Sneezed today and the wife opened the car window for fresh air.

I have had this off and on for years and the only thing I can narrow it down to is from suffering dry heat.

Dryers, electric heaters leave my lips and fingers dry and I need to wet my nostrils so I can breathe through my nose.

I struggle in hot dry areas and even hydrating does not help.

Interested to find reason for this and a cure.

my sneezes have smelt bad for years im fit and healthy non drinker non smoker, have a healthy mouth with no signs of anything nasty my breath smells just fine , but when i first noticed it was 15 yrs ago when i was in the car with a friend and i sneezed not a sissy sneezy but a great big one from the bottom of my lungs sneeze, and my friend said " fffing hell it smells like a ferret cage and he was exactly right it smells like a rabbit or ferret cage and too this day if i have a massive sneeze it stinks like a pet cage if i sneeze normal then no smell but big hearty ones stink .. i presumed after over 15yrs of this smell and no other ill effects then its the way i am but i can clear a room .

dont know if it makes a difference but if i do small sneezes i can do up to 3 un smelly ones  but if im annoyed i just blast the biggest one i can out, i only do the one but it reeks to the heavens.. infact i even broke a rib on one of my big fellas there that hard. so it could be the smell of clearing my lungs out i dont know ..

Is there any connection between excessive masturbation and bad smelling sneeze. According to my own experience, there is. Whenever u do it, i have smelling sneezes.

I would suggest using a Neti Pot for this condition.  I have it, too and will begin to see if this makes a difference.  I'm currently dairy and gluten free and have noticed a lot less post nasal drip in the last week.

I just started with this problem. I smell it all the time. Did you find out what causes this. I hate this smell!

well , i have the same exact problem as you all guys suffering from . im not a doctor but i think i found a clue but im still not sure .... what i think is this problem or infection or what ever you want to name it is related somehow to Gonorrhea especially if youre having oral sex a lot becouse at the same period i had Gonorrhea this problem came up ! so i dont think this could be a coincidence

I started having bad breath maybe a year ago. One day I sneezed really hard and some odd green thing come out of my mouth that stunk so bad. Like an infection. I got worried to I looked it up and finally came up with Tonsil Stones (tonsilloliths). It's gunk built up in your tonsils. So this really explained to me the cause of that ball like thing coming out of my mouth and bad smelling sneezes. I since then started using a new toothpaste that promises to help with that. I used it for a bit of time, I thought it was't helping. But then I stopped using it and a few weeks later, it started getting stinky up in here. I'm not putting all my faith on the toothpaste... but hey.. maybe it does work. FYI - I used therbreath. Just in case u want to try it out. It's available online or at any drugstore. 

For the past 2 years, periodically, I have noticed when I sneeze into my hand (gross, I know), if I smell it, it has a distinct smell...the smell of flowers/vase water of a bouqet that is like 5 days old.  That is EXACTLY what it smells like.

Lately, my wife says my breath has a 'sickly, sweet smell' to it.

I wonder if I have an Upper Resp. infection>

My 13 year old daughter has this issue and it grosses me out. The reason is because growing up in a dirty environment, our kitchen dishes sat so long that maggots would infest them and the smell of sweet decay from the maggots is the same smell I smell when she sneezes. I usually only smell it in the car since we are in such close proximetry but it makes me want to hurl. She told me that it always smells to her like her "Grandma's cat" who is the same lady who has dirty maggot dishes still occationally so I know that whatever it is smells the same to both me and my daughter. I would hope that my baby girl is not rotting from the inside. 

It's not a sinus infection. It's because your f*****g breath stinks! When you sneeze you spray a mist of saliva which creates the smell of Balls, Roach, Hamster, Ginea Pig, BREAF!!!

Hello,

I am so sorry that you all are experiencing these embarrassing symptoms but the problem is your immune system and possibly the toothpaste you are using.  You may need to check out your PH level in your body and try to build it up to fight infections.  Antibiotics only makes the matter worse by weakening your immune system.  The best way to strengthen your immune system is to increase your PH level.  You can do this by either mixing and drinking 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of baking soda or simply drinking 1 ounce of Tahitian Noni Juice daily on an empty stomach followed by drinking half your body weight in ounces of water.  There are PH strips that can be ordered that will let you know what your PH level is.  As long as your PH level is between 7.35 and 7.45 you are in the safety zone.  If you want help with your problem, go online and study the difference between an "Alkalinic and Acidic Body.  All of your health problems stem from having an Acidic body and weakened immune system.  Also you might want to take a look at your tooth paste and try brushing with a natural toothpaste.  Try to use a toothpaste with no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  It's considered a poison that stays in your system five days after you brush.  If you follow thes instructions and give yourself at least 3 months following this, your body will begin to heal itself.  There is no quick fix for this problem.  It's going to take time to reverse the damage years of antibiotics has done to your immune system.  Don't take my word for it. Read for yourself. My heart goes out to all of you.

DO NOT DO THIS!!! If you are referring to a neti pot, then you should only use distilled water. There were a couple of cases of people dying from brain eating amoeba infections contracted from the faucet water. If you drink it, it is safe, but not if you get it into your nose, fro where the amoeba can penetrate the olfactory membrane and enter the brain via olfactory nerves. Beware!

Did you find out if Wheat was the problem? Very curious!

what did you take for medication

Wow. Didn't think i would find anyone with this issue. I have always had the "stones" and when I would sneeze in my hand it always smelled sweet. But in the last week I've sneezed twice.. Big sneezes and they filled the room with some sort of plant sweet but not good smell. Never smoked. Never drink coffee. Still have tonsils. Great dental hygiene. Never a cavity and no bad breath. If it were the stones I would have had the smelly sneeze before right? I had the stones for over 20 years. Like 2 or 3 stones a year. They just pop out if I rub the back of my throat. So to me it HAS to be some sort of sickness deeper down in there. If I fake sneeze or spit there is zero smell. I tried it right after the second bad smelly sneeze. After the first I wasn't sure it was the sneeze.
