My husband has had this strange smell coming from his nose. when he takes antibiotics it goes away for a few days then comes back. what's wrong?

Infection?: Could be an infection in his nose or his sinuses. Or it could be something else growing up there. Have him go see the family doctor or an ENT. You don't want to let an infection in this area linger or anything else.
