Weird smell from nose.

My boyfriend randomly gets a weird smell from his nose, and I smell it when I kiss him. We can't figure out what is causing it. He has normal seasonal allergies. He does not have a sinus infection. HELP??!


This discussion is related to very bad smell from nasal passage.

Make sure you get a PROPER diagnosis. I have had a fungal infection for a long time, and the Doctors kept giving me antibiotics for it, which made my problem worse. If he has a ongoing problem, search fungal infections- And research the things you should do after being on antibiotics, I just about bet that will be prescribed.

Hi,
How are you? This could be due to a post nasal-drip (PND)  or nasal discharge or an infection. Normally, there are bacteria present in the mouth. With the close proximity of the throat and nasal passage, this may be a problem.  The PND may fall on the microorganisms which would exacerbate the problem. If it persists, have this evaluated furtehr for proper management. Take care and best regards.
