Smelly mucus

2017-01-08 17:04:38
When i sneeze, i get a very bad smell in my nose. After observing, i noticed that when i wash my nose, inside, very thoroughly, the smell goes off.. so i figured it might be the mucus that comes when we sneeze.. but why does it smell so bad. This is a very recent problem that happened only around 2-3 times. Is it a bad? The smell sure is. But health wise.. is it bad?

Hello it's quite possible that the smell is because of some infection... I not panic for it I would suggest try to drink more of fluids in first place so that the mucus doesn't get thick..Let's wait and watch for a week...If doesn't subside consult an ENT specialist...Thank you
