Fungal sinusitis: That's an unusual symptom. You might have fungal sinusitis... Not a bid deal... Very common in south east us.. But very common. It may also be nothing... Best to be seen by an ENT and have a ct scan of sinuses based on exam.

Question 5

a sweet smell is released when i sneeze. why is this ?

Accepted Answer

Diabetic?: Diabetic ketoacidosis can cause a sweet odor, so can elevated blood sugar without being ketotic.  Ketosis in non diabetics is usually a bad odor.  So my best guess would be youre diabetic and your sugars are not controlled!

Question 6

why is it that immediately after i sneeze i smell a sweet, sugary flowery smell?

Accepted Answer

Sweet odor: I am not sure, but one thing that comes to mind is the possibility of diabetes. In the term "diabetes mellitus" the mellitus means "sweet." while the high sugar levels don't normally affect the odor on your breath, the accompanying process of ketone formation that happens in some cases of diabetes can cause a sweet taste/odor. Also, simply fasting leads to ketone formation and could too.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Bad smell: Could be because of sinusitis or other nose  infections. Some bacteria which can cost atrophic rhinitis can cause bad smell also. You should probably see an ENT specialist.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Get a nasal culture: colonization or infection of nasal area or sinusitis can cause bad odor

Question 9
