Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

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.".

From time to time I stick a q-tip cotton swab up my nose because I like the feeling of sneezing. I know this might be a weid question. But can this lead to sinus infections and foul smell in nose. Or anything else dangerous?
