What Causes Child To Have Nose Smelling Like Cheese?
My bf took our son to the doctors because it s been two weeks since his breathe or nose smells like cheese , & before it started to smell like that , he had a sore under his nose which I thought was a cold sore and I thought that was where the smell was coming from but the sore is gone , and he still smells so bad , it s terrible , anyways I guess the doctor just gave him so pennisilyn to see if maybe it s an infection in his throat , cuz he has been sick for a bit now .

HI....nose smelling bad suddenly could be because of 2 reasons.
1. An intra dermal boil of infection of the subcutaneous or mucosa of the nose.
2. A forgotten foreign body and this might be the nidus for infection and bad odour.
I suggest you take him to an ENT surgeon and get a rhinoscopy done and then let him decide what to do.
