bad smell

I have had a bad smell for 2 or 3 wks now. It follows me everywhere. I am taking meds for an infection. Do you think the infection is the problem? NEVER had this before.

I'd certainly be more worried if the bad smell stayed around after the antibiotics are done.  If it is BV, yes that can certainly smell bad.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The bad smell could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a throat infection. Sinus infections can cause stuffiness of the nose with nasal blockage, which can make breathing through the nose difficult. It can also cause post nasal drip and lead to an irritation in the throat, which can cause a throat infection. Ensure to take your antibiotic for the required number of days. In the meantime practice good breathing exercises, humidify your room and do steam inhalations and salt water gargling.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
