Often sinus infections can cause this I have heard. Have you been back for any further treatment?

Also if this is effecting your life in a way that you are feeling like killing yourself please call this hotline or speak to someone who can at least help you in that regards.

I have the same problem.. Hi, I am dealing with this problem that has pretty much taken over my life. My problem is I feel like I’m giving off a bad smell. I think it coming from my nose(its not an infection). I shower about 3 times a day, put cologne on, deodorant. When some people hug me they say I smell good, but when the get close to my face it seems like there face goes sour. Sometime when I pass people they cover there nose. I’ve seen about 3 doctors regarding this problem but they don’t see anything wrong. I know something isn’t right and I don’t think I can live my life for another 4 months like this. I’m going crazy... I think if we work together we might be able to help each other out.

Same I actually can't take it I'm not sure sometimes if I do suffer from this sometimes because I am very popular but people often cover their nostrils when I sit next to them so I just try holding my breath which can't always work I can't take it I feel like just giving up with life sometimes please help :(

I too had that problem. It started 3 years ago. I don't know what caused it. I was a social person, going out with friends and talking to people. When I started to smell like poop I started to stay away from people. I isolate myself so I would not be embarrassed when people hold their nose when they are in my face or around me. My friends say they did not smell anything but at work people tend to stay away from my area. I tried doctor's but they don't see anything wrong. I tried all kinds of stuff to get rid of the smell, Therabreath nasal spray makes it worst, now that I think about it it started when I used that product. Anyway, I recently tried something that seems to be working. I bought some Oregano oill (kills fugus) from the health store, I poured a few drops in a cup of warm water, dipped a q-tip in the water and stuck it all the way up my nose until I couldn't go any further... snuff it up (it may burn the first time). Then I dipped my tougue scrapper in the water and scrapped the back of my tougue as far back as possible. After while, you will need to spit out the clear snot that will be coming out your nose and mouth. Then brush your teeth and do not eat anything for a while. I guess it's best to do this before you go to bed. Repeat for 2 more nights. Hopefully this will help you too.

I can't believe there are so many people including myself who are suffering from this. I think the medical community should be ashamed that they've haven't address this obvious issue. Yesterday, I felt so low that for the first time I felt like life wasn't worth living. However, I do have hope that eventually people will realize that this is a medical issue and not a hygiene issue. I am a very clean, well groomed and considered attractive middle aged woman and I am the gossip at work because of this condition. I too am so embarrassed that I no longer have a social life because I've decided to isolate. I am going to my ENT in a couple of days and I going to ask about clinical trial that may be available because I've just heard too many different horror stories that I fear this might be a life sentence.

(sorry for my bad english)i am from the Philippines and also have the same problem its started when I am was 14 yrs old then suffer by discriminating and take insult by my friends and even my family. I become isolated, short tempered and sometimes violent, I attempted to commit suicide but I fail. It last in almost 10 years. Hospitals here in the Philippines are low tech, specially in ENT. I don't remember how many times I got checkup in a different hospital. But one day I found an ENT specialist who had experience on dealing with my case. He said to me that the hole in my sinus is too large and my lungs produce too much phlegm, so everyday passed the phlegm is stacked on my sinus and when it is stacked it produce a foul odor, he called it atrophic rhinitis. He suggested to me that spray sodium chloride solution (dextrose water) using syringe without needle everyday. After a few months it 50% works and continuing to improve. I also suggest that regular exercise ei. Jugging or swimming (when not cold), drinking 8 glass of water everyday are helping, and one last advise, overcome any kind of problem. That is the positive thing I learned with this kind of condition.

Hi!I am a 21-year university student.I have a big problem~bad smell from nose.Very bad smell!I can't smell it,but,it really exist.Sometimes,it can spread too far when I in a room.I have had it for 5 years.It let my life so hard.I found it diffucult to contact people.I don't know where it had come from.During the dark 5 years,I have met several ENT doctors and made CT scan.But there is nothing,all is well except chronic rhinitis .No nasosinusitis and atrophy rhinitis .I had some medicine including Chinese medicine and washed my nose by salt water.It is still there.My nasal mucus flows backwards and sometimes I feel my nose dry.There is a notice that 5 years ago,I once lived with my sick pet dog in a room.She had an unpleasant smell.I don't know whether there is a connection.Please help me.

I positive it come from my nose,because when I breath by mouth,people have no feels.If I breath using nose,there must be pinching the nose.I also have a dental cavity on the lower left molar.Whether there is possible that the root of my tooth had gone bad?It is the cause of the bad smell?

Try fluconazole 150 but only with a doctors permission its suppost to be for fungus it won't hurt to try.. just read the side effects and ask your doctor if they think that would work for you it worked for a friend and it worked fine for me too but I still have a different smell in my nose but its not a feces or bad cheese smell so give it try maybe it will work for you.. I had so many different smells bitter, sour it depended what I had eaten that day I also had un ucler but for feces amell it would be fluconazol 150 ans I'm not sure how many I been taking 1 tab every 5 days for 5 days now.hopefully it helps you

I had a bad smell coming down my nose for ages. It was like a mixture of rotting flesh and faeces. It was so bad it would stink out the entire room. I couldn't go near people it was so bad. Finally I've got rid of it. This is how I did it. First of all, I started drinking lots of water during the day. Secondly, I carried an olbas oil inhaler around with me and kept sniffing it up my nostril. Thirdly, three or four times a day, I took a sudafed tablet and, an hour later, blew my nose hard and washed it out with warm salty water. Finally, whenever my nose felt blocked, I massaged the sinus area between my nose and cheek with my fingertips till the blockage eased (usually, a combination of massage and olbas oil would free the sinus within five minutes or so). It took a few weeks to clear it, but at last the smell is completely gone. I know how distressing this condition can be, so I hope this helps someone. Remember - drink plenty water! It's vital. I think this condition is triggered by dehydration - the mucus gets so thick it ceases to run down the sinus tube, stagnates and turns rotten. Above all, don't despair - it can be cleared. Good luck!

Even I am suffering from this , when someone come near to me I feels like hell my breat will increase I don't know what to do some times I feels better to die :(

But till now I didn't go to doctor , because I thought its only happening to me tomorrow I go to doctor

If its smelling like poop and ENT doctors can not see anything wrong with that end of your body you might want to go see a gastric specialist. You may have some plaque in your intestinal tract that is seeping bad odor up though your nose and mouth. Im not even kidding... I have heard of this before. OR look into having a colonic treatment.Life is to precious to be hiding away missing it. Take control.

I have the same problem too. First I have a bad breath then my nose smells bad which I can't really smells, and people cove their nose when I am near them, its really embarrassing. I think the smells coming from my body or stomach, so what do I do, I need help I live in Canada is there any medications that I can take solve my problems

I think I might commit suicide because my breath is so horrible, I need help /:

I felt the same way about killing myself, but I could not go through with it. Sometimes you think it's gone because you don't smell it but when someone comes around they start rubbing their nose then you start to get self conscious again. The smell comes out of nowhere! I think it is some form of bacteria in the throat or back of the tougue. The bacteria is living and thriving on whatever you eat. I tried eating yogurt only with the live cultures and drinking lots of water for about 2-3 weeks. I lost a lot of weight but it really helped. Stay away from alcohol or anything that will dry your mouth or spicy foods and onions... that only makes it worse. I hope this helps. Please let me know.

My problem reappeared last September - bad smell from the nose. By pure chance I got my hands on some Augmentin tablets and tried them. Bingo! Job done! After years of suffering with blocked and infected sinuses and smell of **** coming from my nose, it's all gone! Get Augmentin - I don't think any other antibiotic works. Apparently the bacteria which causes this problem has a protective coating which ordinary antibiotics can't penetrate. Augmentin contains some sort of acid which breaks this coating so the antibiotic can get in and zap the bacteria. It worked for me anyway!

Hi po.. alam ko maiintindihan mo ko kasi pinoy kadin... sana matulungan mo din ako... ganyan din kasi yung problema ko.. nagsimula to nung 1st yr ,college ako nag-spray kasi ako ng nasal spray sa ilong ko ehh may due date pala yun ,3 ent na yung pinuntahan ko pero wala naman silang nakita.. pwd ko ba malaman ,sang ent ka pumunta..

I am having the same problem and I thought it was just me. The smell is so bad, it stays n room and is there when I leave and come back to the room. I just bought some saline solution spray so Im hoping it will help me out. I hate because we are all suffering from this and it seems like its attacking all the social-able people. Now I am afraid to go out. Pray for me. And I hope something helps us all..

That is happening to me now I am 24 years old and I don't know what wrong been to a dentist and they said nothimg was wrong with me but I was on the bus and my breath or the air coming from my nose waas killing everyone I was so embrassed I started to cry like a big baby but my boyfriend does not nsmell it

So where do u get that from

About a month ago I had some bananas they were getting bad and that smell has been in my nose ever since it's driving me crazy.

I don't have a bad breath. What I have is a bad smell that no one will smell. I am having it since about one year now. I need a physician advice on that. I thought that it was a sinus problem, but when I checked it out in a specialized book, I found out that I was wrong. So, if you can help me out, I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you so much and God bless you!

I tried that augmentine and it did not work for me

Hi there, I read your post here. I thought I was the only one suffering this kind of condition in our country as most people who suffer with this kind of situation are from abroad. I too have isolated myself from people or friends because I'm totally embarrassed whenever people around me would cover their nose every time I talk. I've been suffering this kind of misery for over 5years now and I really had enough of it. I feel so disgusted of myself that I rather just stay away from people rather than let them find out I am such a big stinker. I have a very good hygiene, I brush my teeth like 6-7 times a day especially after I eat something to eliminate bad odors coming from my mouth. I hope you can give me the details of the specialist who treat you so I can have my check-up there. Been to many doctors and since I'm too shy to really explain my problem to them in details I haven't gotten any resolution yet, they just keep prescribing me some antibiotics which doesn't help at all. I do have tonsil stones, if you heard about it and I think that is the culprit but when I exhale through my nose it smells bad as well as people tend to cover their nostril when I do that. Did you had an endoscopy done to find out what really the problem is? I hope you can give me additional information about the specialist as it could save me from years of humiliation.. im really lost and I don't want to suffer anymore, please help.. thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your help. I would like to know if after you took the Augmentin tablets, did the smell ever came back?

Thank you.

Hi wolfeagle's,

After you took the Augmentin tablets, did the smell ever came back?

Thank you.

Hi, this post may be long, but I hope it does help a bit.

I have had bad breath for a long time, since my teen years. I didn't know it till a few people mentioned it, because it is true most times it is hard for us sufferers to smell the foul smells coming from our mouth and/or nose. And of course, like many of you I became self conscious and embarrassed. So, I sought professional help for my halitosis ( I didn't know then that's the term for bad breath). The first doctor, my family doctor, would tell me, he didn't smell anything. He had me blow through a special bottle that determines if one has bad breath, but the test was negative. A second doctor told me the same thing. A third doctor, told me I had no bad breath, but she did smell mucus smell coming from my nose and thought I had some kind of sinus infection. She pressed my face (between the nose and cheeks) to see if I felt pain and it did hurt a bit. She recommended a pill I can't remember the name of, however I do remember the side effect/allergic reaction of that pill; goosebumps all over my body, some of which I still have today. I believe it did help. However, I still had my bad breath. Once in university I visited the campus dentist who specialized in halitosis. He did a test (I believe it was a tongue swab) to determine if I had the bacteria (helicobacter pylori) that causes bad breath. I had an infestation. To kill the bacteria he recommended a treatment that is very expensive. I was determined to get rid of bad breath once and for all. Over the next year or so I had a couple of treatments that consisted of a substance that was painted on my teeth and in addition he recommended a tongue scraper and a special oxygen toothpaste and gargle solution. The bacteria count was getting low. But to completely remove it I would have to spend more money for other applications of the same substance. But I decided I would stick only with the oxygen products. Over the next couple of years I had little bad breath but I'm sure the number of bacteria was growing, so I decided to just accept my condition. With perfume, candies and gum and oral routine I managed to have to a have a social life and two kids. Years later, I searched for another less expensive solution and tried TheraBreath products. I abandoned those because I thought they were temporary remedies not cures. Recently I sought the advice of my new family doctor and she told me that a diet in raw fruits and vegetables is recommended for halitosis. I do consume a lot refined sugars, but am trying to incorporate fruits and veggies as much as possible. This doctor did blood work on me a year ago. I was thinking I had diabetes because my mouth is dry a lot but all I had was an irregular blood pressure.

I have started to research causes and treatments of smells coming from the nose because within the last year or so I have noticed that during hot humid days I can smell a mucus smell coming from my nose. I will try the recommendations many of you have posted: to drink lots of water, nasal sprays, special oils, and special yogourts. If all that fails I will seek professional help, perhaps I'll get my doctor to describe another mucus dissolving pill, or I'll ask for a test to determine if I have helicobacter pylori in my stomach, which could be the case if I have it in my mouth.

Before I end, I'll write what I just read about h. pylori. It is present in the stomach beneath the mucus layer coated with acid. It can cause ulcers and other worse conditions. It can cause bad breath. It is acquired by coming in contact with it and usually during childhood. This last part got my attention, because when I was little I was so curious (I still am actually) that I wanted to taste poo. I tasted the tip of my own stool. Also my siblings and I played with soil, I consumed bits of it during our pretend play. Could I have acquired the bacteria then? Possibly. But growing up in a tropical country I ate lots of readily available raw fruits and vegetables. Maybe consuming these did help to keep their levels low. As a teen I moved to a developed country, where I live now, and my diet changed. My family started consuming more animal products, more refined and packaged foods. Remember some people are more prone to catching things. No one else in my family has halitosis, except when they wake up maybe or when they have a cold. When people have a cold, water is used up in sneezing, coughing and mucus production. Also, speaking from personal experience, I can say that constantly thinking about this problem and being self conscious is not good. I have found that becoming more spiritual and being closer to God has helped too. As a teenager and young adult I struggled a lot about it but as I got older I was able to handle it more. Hang in there, this problem is not the end of the world.

I had a terrible smell coming from my nose, it was disgusting, I tried ZYRTEC, got it at walmart, it is a bit spendy but within an hour the smell was gone. I was amazed. Good luck it you try it and I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.

I had the most terrible smell from my nose, I tried ZYRTEC, got it at walmart, it was a bit spendy BUT within the hour the odar was 100% gone. For all those who try ZYRTEC I hope it works for you like it did me!

Gosh another pill. Geez man, I've had this mess since 1995 and two surgeries later I'm still a ferris wheel of mucus. It's disgusting and I hate going anywhere with slime coming out all ends. It even drips--very fast--a lot of time when I bend over for something. If my nose goes south, its over. Gosh it feels good to relate to other people for a change.

Love this thread!

GOD... He will help us all... I pray, its in His hands anyway... Thank you Jesus! It seems to me that these 'sign the petition' things we see on the web... we should be able to start one of those and at the very least encourage doctors to take a fresh look at an old problem. Hey, I have a cardiologist in the family and I bet if I were to mention it to him, maybe he could tell me where to start. Hey, I'm an idealist and if someone can write it and spread the word then what's stopping me? :)

Ps.. I am slightly bipolar :D

I am having a problem with my nose as well, every time I exhale around people they cover their nose or move away also when I speak... sometimes I get an odor smells like poop. The doc says its my sinus but I'm using the nasal rinse also I had a endoscopy done to make sure it wasn't something in my stomach and still I am having this problem. I also try patanse nasal spray. I am so frustrated I hardly associate myself with anyone I don't know what else to do. Right now I've decide to just pray about the situation nothing else seem to help and I know God is the only answer right now so just to let everyone know trust him and let him take care of the situation
