Bad Smell In Nose – Causes, Treatments, And Prevention

Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are non-cancerous, soft growths that typically develop on the wall of the nasal sinuses or cavity. They tend to have a teardrop and small shape caused by chronic inflammation. If you have frequent sinus infections, allergies, or asthma, the risk of developing nasal polyps may be higher. Common signs include a bad smell in the nose, a significantly reduced sense of taste and smell, snoring, teeth pain, facial pain, pressure in the face, headache, stuffy nose, postnasal drip, and runny nose. The size of nasal polyps can be so small that you might ignore them easily. When they grow in size, the nasal passages might be blocked, which subsequently affects your breathing. [3]
