What Causes Ammonia Like Smell And Allergy After Cleaning AC?
6 weeks ago, I had to repair a water leak under my house. While I was there, I cleaned the evaporator on my Air conditioner. I thought it was the dog hair and mold messing up my allergies, but the symptoms were like a no fever flu, and I never really got any better. Then I started smelling mold everywhere, then I started having weird flavors like dehydrated cherries, now I am smelling/tasting Ammonia in the back of my sinuses (if that makes sense?).

Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Smelling ammonia can be caused due to various causes like sinusitis, kidney disease, liver disease, smell disorders. The treatment of underlying cause will treat the symptom eventually.
Undergo liver and kidney function test and consult a doctor with the reports( preferably E.N.T specialist).
Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
