Why there is an unpleasant smell from the nose

An unpleasant odor from the mouth accompanies many people. There are many reasons for this - it is the disease of the gums, teeth, mouth, liver, larynx and other organs. And why there is a bad smell from the nose? What is it connected with and how to deal with it?

To answer these exciting questions, it is necessary to consider several variants of odors that can occur at different time intervals and for various reasons. An unpleasant odor from the nose can occur within a few seconds or only during the tilt of the head. Such an "aroma" can scare others, create a lot of inconvenience to the patient. Often, this symptom indicates the presence (or imminent occurrence) of ozona, chronic or atrophic rhinitis, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver or kidneys. In any case, you need treatment, which is prescribed by the doctor.

So, the first option is a burnt odor from the nose. As a rule, most people note the smack and smell of rot, which last for several minutes, and then disappear. This may be due to allergic causes, the sources of which are bacterial infections. Odor from the nose comes from a mucosal nasal mucosa.

In acute rhinitis, the mucous membrane of the nose swells, and purulent, unpleasant discharge forms in different nasal regions. In this case, as well as in any other, consultation of the otolaryngologist and the allergist is necessary. Usually, along with the odor in humans, other symptoms of the disease appear: malaise, difficulty breathing and fever.

The next option is a specific cold that needs serious and in-depth treatment. It is possible with diphtheria, malodorous rhinitis or syphilis. Usually the nose odor is accompanied by dryness in the nose, difficulty breathing, lack of smell, the formation of crusts of greenish color. Treatment is appointed by an otolaryngologist. Depending on the abundance of crusts in the nose can be diagnosed with finding out the cause of the disease. Very often, the fetid runny nose (ozona) can be accompanied by atrophic laryngitis, pharyngitis or tracheitis.

Unpleasant odor from the nose can occur due to sinusitis. The causes of this disease can become a common ARVI or a nasal breathing disorder. With inflamed sinuses, a purulent runny nose is more often manifested. The patient may feel pain while bending his head. Usually the pain appears under and between the eyes, in the back of the head, in the crown and in the forehead. Along with these symptoms, there may be increased body temperature, weakness and chills. In genyantritis, as soon as possible, consult a doctor to avoid serious and unpleasant consequences, for example, a sinus puncture (drainage).

Odor from the nose can develop for various reasons. One of the most common - a violation of smell or parosmia. Usually the patient feels a persistent unpleasant odor from the nasal passages, but in fact, it may not be. Such a sign appears as a result of the disease of the upper respiratory tract. Only an experienced physician can determine the exact diagnosis. When referring to a specialist, the patient will be assisted, a computer tomography of the paranasal sinuses is performed, an endoscopic examination of the nasopharynx is taken, a sowing from the nose is taken. After the above examinations, the doctor will diagnose and prescribe a treatment.

Improper malnutrition, contaminated environment, surgical interventions and poor housing can trigger a nose odor. The reasons can be completely different. But to identify the existing disease and make a real diagnosis is capable only of a specialist. So you should not self-medicate or completely ignore unpleasant symptoms. After all, an unpleasant, fetid and disgusting smell can become a signal of serious illnesses. Moreover, it is always unpleasant to talk closely with a person who "smells bad".
