A member asked:
Sometimes after i blow my nose, i smell a strange floral scent for the remainder of the day. what is going on?

Not sure, but . . .: Most people who complain about smells from the nose say they have a bad odor or strange odor. They may have some bacteria growing in their sinuses, or some similar infection problem. A floral scent doesn't sound too bad. Maybe the nose-blowing temporarily changes the smell sensors in the nose, so that they are sending floral scent signals to the brain. An ENT evaluation may help find the reason.
