Suggest Remedy For Bad Odor From Nose And Mouth Due To Sinus Infection
For the past couple of days I ve been having a bad odor coming from my nose and mouth. This all started with my sinuses and allergies acting up and now the sinus pressure in my nose is gone but the bad smell coming from both my nose and mouth remains. What is going on?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Infections of the throat or nasal passages can cause an odor. This would normally indicate a bacterial or fungal infection.
Viral infections are not normally associated with this problem.
It would be best to visit your doctor because a course of antibiotics may be needed.
I hope this helps
