smelly mucus in my nose

Cryptic tonsillitis. Search the internet for this, and see what you think. Green snot is bacterial.

That sounds like a chronic sinusitis problem. Because there are so many tiny crack-size sinuses all throughout your skull, there are a lot of places for the infection to 'hide' (for lack if a better word) therefore you can take entire courses of antibiotics sometimes and end up beating back the infection until you are symptom free without entirely getting rid of every bit of it. That causes the remaining infection to lie dormant for a while, before ultimately coming back again, but this time resistant to that particular antibiotic. In order to get rid of every bit of the infection for good, you may need to get a set of sinus x-rays , and a super long course of antibiotics (like 42 days worth) followed by a set of follow-up x-rays to confirm that you really got it all this time.

I do too I am sick but mine is yellow

you have mrsa have your nose checked

If you haven't had this checked out yet, it sounds like it could be cerebrospinal fluid leaking from your cranial region, into your sinus cavities, and out your nose. You should get this looked at. (I am not any kind of medical professional. I have been researching similar symptoms. I do not believe I have this, but it sounds like you do.)

This same thing has happened to me and it started with an infected tooth that was removed by the dentist. Tooth removed 3 months ago and I am still getting this smelly snot. And at night I have a hard time breathing through my nose.

I have the smelly mucus and back of head hurts and I know mine isn't from dairy because I'm lactose intolerant so what else could it be?

I have that as well and the smell is just horrifying. It's a sign of sinusitis. I've never been to the doctor for this so I'm not sure how to get rid of it completely. I kept blowing my nose and it's endless, so I tried Neilmed sinus rinse and all the green gunk just came out of my nose, and when I blow my nose the mucus is not green anymore, so maybe you can try that out. I got it at a pharmacy.

Thanks Dan, Muslim religion already recommended that to be done in very ablution. Is called nose rinsing. it is good for people who are allergies to dust, stuffy nose and many others. i recommend do nose rinsing three times a day. morning , noon and the evening. you gonne be fine.

Im dealing with the same thing

How are yours? The same problem as yours, i was given antibiotics for 7 days and return for a root canal.

You are absolutely correct.

Same here I guess we have to go to an ear nose and throat specialistBecause we're not getting any answers But we keep getting put on antibiotics

I recently had my wisdom tooth extracted about a week ago...could this be the reason why

Hi all, I can empathise with all of you who have smelly noses. I was told I had Chronic Sinusitis. To cut a long story short, I've seen 7 ENT consultants coming from all over the country, consumed every anti-biotic, every nasal spray and had 2 FESS operations all over a 3 year period. Nothing helped the nasty smells, the mucus and the pain. So, I took the matter into my own hands and worked out it wasn't a bacteria infection as every consultant said...it was fungal. Googled what kills Fungal, found that alcohol does (which was the only thing I had at home at the time from what was depicted on the web). I put a few drops of White Jamaican Rum (Wray and Nephews Overproof) in my 'NeilMed Sinus Rinse' bottle mixed with bottled water (not from the tap) and squirted it up my nose. Ok, I thought I was going to die for a moment and I thought I'd totally ruined my nasal passage etc and didn't sleep well that night but when I woke up the next morning...the smell had gone, I could breathe out of both nostrils and all pains had disappeared. Some of you will be thinking about suicide because that's how bad it can make you feel. It totally ruins your life if you have it as bad as I did, as you can't socialise, you can't be close to anyone or anybody as the stench that comes out of your nose is dreadful, the taste in your mouth is foul and so on. I'm not telling anybody to do this but after 3 years of hell it's what worked for me. I'm not sure if there are any long term effects that could potentially be damaging but what I do know is that I was real desperate as I had already got my rope and was looking for places to hang it. Definitely DO NOT go down that route as there is a fix for you out there but it's just finding it. Refrain from consuming antibiotics, nasal sprays and anything else that they tell you to do for a bacterial infection as it makes it worse. If nothing is working, look at treating a fungal infection but first you may need to penetrate the bio-film that covers the infection. Good luck all.
