Smell a strange odour because of sinus, normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinus drainage: Hello, the smell you are noticing may be coming from a sinus infection, post nasal drainage, or possibly from tonsil stones. Increase your fluid intake, gargle with water after meals, and rinse your nose with salt water twice daily. If this doesn't help, see your doctor.
