A member asked:
I have a stuffy nose with an ammonia like smell. does this suggest that i may have a sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: A foul smell associated with sinusitis symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial headaches and yellow or green secretions can suggest a difficult-to-treat infection; this typically requires certain types of antibiotics. Once you begin to notice a foul odor, you need to see your physician; don't just hope that it'll "go away.".
