Bad smell coming from nose..Found a Cure!!! Yayyyy

This is not a question but answer..i couldnt find how to comment or answer!

I have been suffering from a really horrible smell coming from my nostrils and if i sniffed i could also taste it..i tried actifed tablets and cattarh caspules but after a week it was still there..as if i had bad breath but instead of coming from my mouth it was coming from my nose..very embaressing as I work with customers every day and was sure they could smell it too.  So I went to the doctor and he gave me a nasal cream called Naseptin and some tablets called Erythromycin. After only a day of using these the smell has gone!  So there is a cure out there...its just finding the right one..now i dont know if its the cream that works or the tablets or both together but im just glad its gone. I have to finish the course tho. I was told that the smell was caused by bacteria that lives in the nose which had got infected. Hope this helps.

Hi,
So I can only think of more questions. Does he smell like old milk? I have had patients with that and they usually had a digestive or intestinal problem.
Does he smell like bad breath? Does he have acid reflux or heartburn? If yes, he might have bits of food stuck on swollen point at the back of his soft palate or throat. The swollen areas are from the acid. Have him get it checked out. None of the things I mentioned are things to ignore as they could eventually lead to a larger health concern in the future

I have been dealing with this problem my whole life and im still searching for cure. Well i started seeking out about 7 months ago. Went to the dentist first, took xray and was cleared of any plague or anything that could cause bb. I went to the ent next and during the first apptmt i was told that i could be having post nasal drip and lpr. They gave me nasal spray and omeprazole but didnt work at all. When i went for the second apptmt and told them that nothing has changed, they checked me again and i was told that they couldnt see any problem with my ent. I was really puzzled. First they told me i had pnd and lpr, now they said they couldn't see anything wrong in my ent. The best part it wasnt the same doctor who checked me the first time. Anws, i went to the doctor again to get referred to gastro. She was really reluctant to get me referred as she claimed that my breath was fine, though of course it's actually not and even had the guts to tell me that i have some psychological issues. Like as if im crazy. Anw, i pleaded her to get referred to gastro and get my stomach checked. So, i finally got my endoscopy done but sadly (yes sadly) the news wasnt what i expected. i was told that my stomach was fine, no bad bacteria and such as i had hoped. Now, im going back to my first step again which is to get my oral check at the dentist. But this time i have it done at a dental clinic where they have bb management and halimeter equipment. Im going to my second apptmt soon and i hope to get something to advance. Im also taking good care of my oral like having my tongue cleaned (my tongue has super white coating and i cant get rid of them like seriously) and brushed twice a day now. Btw, i noticed that i have some bumps at the back of my tongue and i wondered if that could be (one of) the cause(s) of my bb. I also noticed recently that people can smell my bb even when im not talking like they can smell me from the breath that i released out (if that makes sense). How do i know? I can see some reactions from people around me eg covering/rubbing their nose and coughing when they dont have coughs in the first place. Im sensing wherever i go the smell just follows its crazy. Im really depressed about my condition and i hope to get some solutions... Please pray for me.. I have a life that i envision.. And this life that i currently live is just ruining me.. Im so sad...

I have the same experience and wonder if there is any help
Hello my husband has the same prob with his breath we don't have insurance so we do to go to the dentist reg. I recently found this tooth paste comp that is supposed to help with these issues it's called therabreath. (They have a website you can read about what they're about there  you can also buy it at walmart and target for sure this stuff is semi pricey I want to say $7  for toothpaste but when talking about your emotional health then what's $7 .. )  He doesn't use it regularly but when he does I can smell the difference it's worth a try  esp if you do all the steps you're supposed to . I also have a friend that's used it and it works for him.
Also I looked up oil pulling it's where you use (id suggest organic bc you're trying get bacteria out of your body so you'd want something in it's purest form ) coconut oil or grape seed oil and swish it around for 20 or 30 min and then spit it out doing it reg I think 2xa day.   I personally don't know anyone that has tried this but ppl say it works. I've also heard ppl try peroxide swishing it around it kills bacteria I haven't read enough on this to share with you. Another remedy I've heard about is a  toothpaste ppl  use to use way back in the day forgive me but  I can't think of the name it's on Pinterest you can buy it I think on etsy if you don't want to make it  again ppl have said it's worked they all so said they've changed their diet with the homemade tooth paste and have reversed gum disease, cavities, halitosis. I  hope I was some help to you I hope you find the solution you need.
I'm experiencing the exact same thing and it has gotten worse over the years. I've tried everything I can think of, went to the dentist 2 weeks ago and it seems to have made things worse, I have an appointment with the ENT in 2 days. It has really got me all depressed and nobody seems to understand. Hang in there and keep trying though, there's hope for all of us.
Try this one...just make sure breathing from ur nose not ur mouth every time .. and also keep doing that what u been doing.. Flossing, brushing,mouthwash.. It really helpful to me..
I have a great teeth no plagues, no gum infection nothing my mouth is close to perfect I go to the dentist every time but this bad breath that I have from my mouth and the smell that comes out from my nose has got nothing to do with my hygiene cos am very hygienic. My life have been ruined my doctors can't tell me what the hell is wrong with me and they think I have a psychological problem I mean come on you know when people act differently the moment you open your mouth, and when you get too close to ppl the push away cos they. An smell what u exhale out. I am tired of this sickness since it's not cancer nobody gives a damn. I have spent all my saving trying all sort of mouth floss, I tried the therabreath thing, didn't work . I tried smart mouth didn't work. No mouth wash work I brush my teeth 4 times a day. This sickness is just as bad as lol these killer sickness cos it can take your life away completely and no one wants to tell you the truth. -am tired am depressed. I can't keep going like this I need help. Docs please we need serious help.
The white coated tongue is a sign of candida overgrowth. Candida lives in the intestines, is necessary to life, but sometimes, due to overuse of antibiotics and other things, it grows out of control and becomes a fungus.  Candida overgrowth can lead to a leaky gut.  Check internet for info on candidiasis.

I suffered from the bad nose smell for nearly a year. I had polyps removed which resolved it for a couple of weeks but then it came back. I mentioned the fungal link to my consultant but she wasn't impressed. I also mentioned it to my GP who similarly wasn't impressed but agreed to test for candida by doing a swab in my mouth. This came back positive so I decided to try and treat this. I did some nasal rinses with a few drops of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) but also drank water with about 10 drops of GSE twice a day. I then moved on to oil of oregano tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening. The first time I took them I took 2 in the morning and I'm pretty sure I could feel it working in my sinuses. I'm not sure how long it too, but the smell has now gone for 4 months. I now just do a nasal rinse with saline solution twice a day and take 2 GSE tablets. I also take 2 propolis tablets to help with inflammation. My sinuses feel a lot clearer now as well. Hope this may help someone else.
