My snot smells a little like chlorine? i've had a snotty nose for a few weeks now but recently it has began to smell like chlorine and taste slightly similar too at the back of my throat?

Sinusitis : You have sinusitis and if it's not improving, get on an antibiotic. For whatever reason, it has a chlorine taste, but I don't think that's important. Get rid of the snot! Even try learning to drain them with a saline wash at home.

Occasionally I get a blood-like smell in my nose. It is similar to a chlorine pool, or metallic. I have not had any head trauma or had a nosebleed, it comes and goes at random. Is this significant?
