What Causes The Mild Dew Smell In The Nose Triggering The Headache?
For the past 3 weeks I have experienced a mildew type smell in my nose which triggers a headache. I do not have a stuffy nose, but when the headache starts the pain is around my eyes and the top of my head. I am on blood pressure medication but nothing else. Can you help?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having mild dew smell smell in nose with headache.
My response to your question is as follows.
These symptoms may indicate an episode of sinus related infections.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
