I hv a cold (stuffynose) im alot better and can breathe better but i hv this awful smell in my nose 247. kinda smells like dry old mucus blood. why???

Blow your horn: Glad to hear breathing better. The nose is an inviting moist environment for bacteria and other organisms. Keep blowing to keep the sinuses and nasal passages clear - consider use of nasal saline to rinse out dried mucous and debris. Some have lanolin to moisturize and protect. If this continues, you may seek care from your family doc or an ENT to look in there to ensure no other pathology.
