Odor from the nose

HelpMeASAP
I read most of the comments about odor coming from the nose , well I had it for 17 years no one seems to know how to help me no nasal sprays, saline, Alegra, nose wash, antibiotics (helps for a week),no vicks inhaler, cough drops, peppermint, I don't qualify for the ballon placed in the nose ct scan detects nothing bad, no mouth wash helps me at all.  I hope someone finds a solution to treat whatever is in the nose maybe a fungal medication can be given by mouth. The bad taste and smell comes at night when I lay down and fumigates the room smells like odor of the bowels. Imbarrassing in  public also it's already hard enough to get a job.  Please some doctor let me know what you can do for me ASAP.

Can I use this method with the product called Alkalol? I use that to do a normal nasal flush.

Hi Bunny,
You're right, this is a fairly common problem on this forum and there are few solutions--some sufferers have even noted that their doctors pretended not to smell it, while flinching. I don't know that it's fungal, but a nebulizer would be the only effective way to get anti-fungal meds into your sinuses. I know that some drugstores have nebulizers, but you'll have to ask a pharmacist about the medicine.
