I think i'm just getting over a sinus infection. my sinus seem clear but everything i smell smells terribly bad. it's effecting my eating. what is it?

Maybe not: If you are smelling bad odors you are smelling pus. The sinus infection is not over and you need to resee your doctor or if have not gone, go. YOu will need more treatment especially antibiotics.
