A member asked:
Can viral sinusitis cause bad odor through the nose? if so, how is it treated? many thanks.

Inflammation: changes a lot of things in the nose. This can set up / predispose to bacteria that are normally around there being able to grow more and cause infection needing antibiotics. A few other posibilities but this is quite common.
