A member asked:

I have been also experiencing burning sensations in the back of my head. i noticed a small knot as well, maybe a cyst, ? what is this sinusitis?

Specializes in Orofacial Pain

Probably not: Trauma (blow) to the region would give you a bump. Other causes can include inflammation, tumor (most likely benign), but it does not sound like sinusitis. Consult your pcp.

A member asked:

I release different kinds of smells from my nose frequently, though I don't have sinusitis. Type of smell (sewage, rotten meat, fart, burning cloth, stool smells) depends upon the food I ate. Is this because of SIBO or IMO? Suffering since 10 years?

A member asked:

Occasionally I get an odd smell in my nose, like burning hair. Had sinusitis recently, just finished z-pack. Used nasal decongestants, expectorant. Recently started on Wellbutrin, and I read that phantom smells might be sign of a seizure disorder?
