smelly mucus in my nose

Dear Guest,
You are God sent. I had the same issue of smelly mucus in my nose for a long time now. I was searching the web when I saw your post. I only stopped taking milk for THREE days now the thing is GONE!!!!!!!! The doctors have been recomending a cocktaill of antibiotics before and it stops briefly only to start again! God bles you and God bless the internet. I'm posting from Nigeria and I'm not a scammer

I have the same problem, over the past week. Only a week, but my nose smells like rotting carrion. Kind of sweet, but nasty. Anyway, I read how there are very few blood vessels in tissue in the sinuses, which would be expected to transmit the antibiotic, internally, to the infection site. So, I read how some people, not many, use CVS Polysporin on a Q-tip to get the antibiotic to the infection site.

First, I cleaned out my sinuses by squirting saline water up my nose, by leaning my head all the way back and squeezing the bottle. I bought some kind of sea spray nasal spray. Then, I lean all the way forward, till my head is upside down, actually looking up. I do this in the shower. Then, I blow out that nostril. Just one at a time.

After I get out of the shower, I start the other treatment. Now, it actually hurts if you push the Q-tip up too far, which is probably where the infection is, but maybe that's far enough. After that, breathe in, if you can, to pull the Polysporin into your sinuses. I've only done it twice, so far today, and already the smell is gone.

hi there i've had rotten green/dry yellow mucous and very bad sinus pain. Also can smell a bad smell inside my nose with the taste moving towards my mouth. Ive tried the normal nasal/sinus rinse wher the water goes through one side and comes out the other and hasnt worked after using it for a month. Do you think this NasaFlo will do the job?

A colon clense to fix smelly snot.  Seriously?

I've had the same thing for months, got rid of the face, jaw, ear and tooth pain with antibiotics, the dark green sometimes brown mucus has now changed to varying between green/yellow and white, not clear but white, and there's loads of it, constant nausia from it seeping down my throat, bad smell like rotting flesh and generally feeling like c**p! Now let's get graphic, what I'm ejecting in like a slime, green/yellow with a sort of slimy texture, sometimes with lumps in it, sorry about the description, I do find menthol helps like halls extra strong but then that's not a solution. I went to the doc again and he gave me a spray to dry it up, absolutely useless, really fed up with this, it's making my life a fu**ing misery! :'(

Been very ill with this since saturday, it's now thursday temperature over 100f toxic c**p poisoning my stomach, been on loads of medications and having to take jabs & pills to stop me from throwing them all up again, hardly eaten anything, had about 2 hours sleep, vile taste in my mouth, very sore throat and stomach, tinitus which I always have is running on full volume, got sinus pressure building again, I feel I've turned the corner now, today is a little better, had a scare yesterday though, got up in the morning and vomited fresh blood.

Friday, a bit better again today, not been able to clear my nose for 3 days but stomach feeling better, eating ok now, still getting some post nasal drip but not bad, can't clear my nose at all, wont blow just blocked solid and I stuck vick up there which was pointless, tried steaming but nothing works, jaw glands are up but not worried about that, tininus is still loud, cough still therer, bad taste still there and choking up bits of bloody snot and mucus but a lot better than I have been for days.

Hi friend, NasaFlo will do the trick, I would recommend stop drinking milk or any dairy for at least 2 weeks and also get Nasonex spray into you nose once a day along with NasaFlo once a day as well. I think you will find that will get rid of the smell.

You might want to go get a course of antibiotics and get a CT scan done of you sinuses. You probably are allergic to something like dust mites or dairy if you have chronic sinusitis or if it is acute thank you lucky stars that it will pass soon.

Hi, my front tooth got broke four year ago n i am suffering from this smelly issue from last 4 years... Pls suggest any remidiation.

It worked for me too. Avoid milk for a few days and also coffee if you can . It works like a dream.

I dont use milk anyway, 2 courses of antibiotics and it's a bit better, I just seem to be producing an awful lot of white or light green snot which gets into my throat and makes me cough, 1st thing in the morning I cough up dark brown lumps, I don't smoke and don't suffer with allergies, however I do have an idea, maybe a daily piriton would eliminate the allergy theory.

HERE'S THE SOLUTION that worked for me!

I've had this foul smell for about a year. When i went to ENT finally, i was diagnosed with right maxillary sinusitis. From a friend of mine i've heard about the following:

1. A tablespoon of camphorous spiritus in boiling water and you make inhalations with a towel over your head for 10 minutes.

2. put 50-100 grams of coarse sea salt on a hot plate (use the hot place after you've finished you inhalation procedure). When the salt is hot enough put it in a clean cotton sock and place it over your sinuses until you are lying. Change the position of the sock from the forehead sinuses to cheek and nose sinuses every 5 minutes until the salt gets cool ( it takes about 10 mins).

Maka this for about a week, every night before you go to bed!

i have had it sence October. in the last week i have been to the doctor got heavy antibiotic took them for 5 days as i was told felt a lot better but still had the smell bad. it is verry cold here below 0 i took my nose to arizona befor and the smell went away. this week i used a small bag full of rice put it in the microwave got it hot like 120*f and layed it on my sinuses for a while it was hot but not so it burned. man did the junk come out...i also netypot with colloidal silver ( look it up make your own but make shure you use 100% pure silver do it right and you will have the best antiboitic you can get for very little)( all you nay sayers who have not tryed it go back to sleep) between the 2 I AM WELL i can breath... no smell it is a blessing...............

I have had sinus problems from age 2 when I had pleurisy an infection that gets into the eyes ears nose and anyplace else connected. Mom said I was bleeding from every ware and the pneumonia did not help. I do not believe in antibiotics for most things like this nose smell as the body does not move a lot of blood through the nasal passages and the infection could be yeast related. Now yeast like I have is resistant and even thrives on antibiotics so no help there. I spent a year killing the overgrowth of yeast in my intestines and now only have this rot in my nose. I know its yeast due to the white tongue I get in the morning if it gets out of hand.

Some of the herbal things I used to clean out my gut were grapefruit seed extract and olive leaf extracts. So I thought why not try them on the nose with small amounts at first (one or two drops with grapefruit seed)in one of the neti style pressure push rinse jugs with their salt packet stuff in. I found stuff coming out of my nose in mass amounts and as the extract worked its way in more would dislodge as the day went on. I would have no smell of rot for extended times doing this but any exposure to dust and mold in the spring would cause a relapse and I had to do it again. I knew there was still mold /yeast stuck up high in my sinus and did not know how to clean it all.

Now I come to this thread and the suggestion to flush by tilting my head back filling my nose with the same solution pinching it closed and bending all the way down essentially looking through my legs to allow the fluid to drain up into arias I could not reach before WOW!!! . Today was my first try and pressure I have felt since I can remember is letting go and things I do not care to describe are blowing out easy now. O by the way I smell things I never did before unless I put my nose right up to it and it will take a while to get used to that. So I will keep up this treatment till I kill all the yeast in my case but grapefruit seed extract kills bacteria to if it’s a bacterial infection you have.

Okay, The gross first.

Ive been fighting what I think is a sinus infection for a week. Im not certain that is the case but my snot went from clear to greenish, to neon green and not is a milky yellow.

Have you ever smelled shellfish? Shellfish left in hot sun for 22 hours?
yeah, that smell is what my snot tastes like right now. Its making me very close to physically vomiting. Ive never had allergies and yes, I drink coffee with half and half but have for 15 years. tonight in the shower, i found a rag stuffed into a cup that was black with mold. Im thinking this may be the culprit. I doused it in lysol and bagged it then threw it out.

Im attempting nasal irrigation with boiled salt water in a minute. Ill keep you guys updated but im guessing the mold was the cause of the infection.
