What Causes Sneeze To Smell Like Honey Or Sweet Oatmeal?
Hello, After i sneeze it smells like honey or sweet oatmeal. the smell is not always present. I'm 34 male, the first time i ever smelled this was next to a co-worker who sneezed very strong oatmeal time smell. Note. at that time i never had this smelly sneeze if you will. i noticed it about six months later and now it comes and goes. thanks
When we sneeze, the secretions of our nasal mucosa are expelled out. So this smell comes from her nasal mucosal secretions
How our secretion smells largely depends upon two factors: -Our diet -Any underlying medical condition we are affected with
You need to be investigated. Are you taking any thing sweet, smelly in diet on a regular basis? May be a certain wine etc. Just as an example, people who smoke expel a smoky smell when they sneeze
Typically, diabetics have an ammonia like smell in their breath or sneeze. Patients with liver disorders or kidney problems may also smell similar
Sinus problem/ENT exam is suggested. This is so because, sinus problem is the most common cause of smelly sneezes
Do meditation and regular exercise which will help in increasing the immunity and limit allergic episods
Wish You Good Health
