Sneezy odor

[cinderella122]

My spouse has a foul odor when he sneezes.  I can come into a room and ask him if he sneezed and he says yes; its a very malodor and somewhat unique.  What can be wrong?

Usually it is a result of an infection by anaerobic bacteria in the upper sinuses (sphenoid and frontal).  It may or may not cause any other sinus infection symptoms.  Sometimes it gets so bad he, or you, could smell it all the time.  The only way I know to get rid of it, if it gets worse, is to wash it out with saline.

The Flip-Turn Sinus Flush is mildly risky, because you have to bend over to do it, preferably in a shower, but you can also do it outside on soft ground. A regular sinus saline irrigation won't work, because of gravity.
