Why does my sneeze smell so bad?

Many times people sneeze as an unconscious behavior that cannot be controlled. Some people can clearly smell the odor when they sneeze. This odor makes people feel very unpleasant and uncomfortable. A situation like this may also indicate that there is some problem in the body, so it should be taken seriously. So why does the smell of a sneeze smell so bad?

1. Reasons

If you sneeze and smell something stinky, on the one hand, your olfactory nerves are diseased, and on the other hand, you have rhinitis and are insensitive to smells, so the odor stimulation causes you to sneeze. It is recommended that you check whether you have rhinitis. If not, go to the neurology department for diagnosis and treatment to see if there is any abnormality in the olfactory nerve function. If you smell a very bad odor when you sneeze, it will disappear after a while. If there is a bad odor as soon as you sneeze, you need to take medicine and receive symptomatic treatment as prescribed by your doctor. In general, it is important to take metronidazole tablets as prescribed by your doctor and pay attention to hygiene, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.

2. Disease factors

Periodontal disease, dental caries, black hairy tongue, oral necrotizing inflammation, pericoronitis, oral cancer necrosis, suppurative maxillary sinusitis, atrophic rhinitis, acute tonsillitis, pharyngitis, foreign bodies in the nose of children, indigestion, gastritis, secondary lung infection due to bronchiectasis, lung abscess, leukemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, diabetes, lead, mercury, bismuth and organic poisoning.

3. Physiological halitosis

It is mainly caused by some physiological and psychological factors which lead to a decrease in saliva secretion, a large number of anaerobic bacteria in the mouth, or eating habits and taking certain special medications. Generally, the bad breath caused is short-lived and reversible.
