Air from nose smells bad, like LPG.
Hi, LPG like bad smell comes from my friend's nostrils. He says he doesn't feel any other symptom like headache or facial pain. He doesn't smell it himself this but people around him tell him about it and the smell is quite strong. Is it symptom of some kind of infection or something. I want to add that he works in plastic manufacturing plant where they make plastic products.
Please suggest.
