Bad Odour from nose
I'm having sinusitis. I'm suffering from a nasal odour for 8 years now. I have done various kind of things to overcome it like usesing nasal sprays, taking tablets for allergic like (cetirizine ) and inhale steam. But non of them does't seems to be working for me. i saw on YouTube that washing the sinuses with saline water by a neti pot. I did this from a normal syringe. That worked for some few hours and after that the smell gets horrible more than before.
