After vomiting daysssss ago, everything smells/tastes like vomit and rotten cheese?????

Question

On Halloween night, I got pretty drunk and the next day I vomited profusely (This is gross, sorry).  I was vomiting so hard that it was coming out of my mouth and nose at the same time.... chunks! (yuck).   

Ever since, I have this horrible odor in my nose that won't go away. It smells like vomit and rotten cheese. I've been reading online about this Sinus Flush, so I tried that... I mixed water/salt/baking soda and inserted in my nostrils bent over.... let it sit a few seconds and let my nose drain. Nothing much came out, just clear mucus.   

I'd think IF it was a sinus infection, there would be nasty green mucus coming out but there is nothing but clear liquid/mucus.  I can't eat, everything smells like vomit/rotten cheese and I want to vomit everything time I take a breath.  I am able to breath just fine, my nasal passages are so clear and I have no allergies... everything just stinks like DEATH. 

I am assuming (gross), that there must be some chunks of vomit stuck somewhere and I don't know how to get it out or what to do.  Please help???? Sorry for the disgusting post.

I got food poisoning three days ago. Also threw up out of my nose and mouth. Everything smells like poison/vomit/metal. Did you find a solution?

Hello, this has been happening to me for the last few days, I threw up after drinking, also through the nose, and now everything smells like vomit, did you find out a way to make the smell go away?

Thanks for your reply!  The smell is still there, creeping out of every pore of my body.... so I am starting to think it's not sinus related!  It all happened after a night of binge drinking/vomiting.  I'm reading online it could be liver or kidney issues/etc... I don't know.  This stinks (literally).  I don't have insurance and embarrased to go to the ER saying "I STINK, HELP!!" LOL.  I have some antibiotics here (Cipro), I'll take those for a few days and see if that cures this funk.

Keep flush out sinuses once is probably not enough to get rid of smell, if not better I would go see your Doctor
