Why is there such a terrible smell in my nose in the morning?!


Question:

Why is there such a terrible smell in my nose in the morning?

I had a car accident last year.My 2 young daughters were in the back when a crazy driver hit and ran us off the freeway and we landed in the median upside down.When I felt the car rolling I said goodbye to my kids (in my heart).We were amazingly hardly hurt (thankyou seatbelts, carseats and winter coats)
So my husband quit smoking!That is when the bad smell came.I thought it was some kind of detoxifying that my husband was going through at first and so I tried not to mention it (there are a few reasons to quit smoking and there are always a million reasons to start again) Sometimes it was so overpowering that I had to dash to the window to breathe.Then for one (or several) of those million reasons, he started smoking again but the smell continues. It is not my teeth: I saw the dentist several times since the accident. It is not the bed or anything in the room: my children with sensitive noses can't smell it, nor can my husband.
My doctor has not heard of trauma affecting one this way


Answers:

I have never told anyone this....My husbamd told me I had bad "nose-breath" a couple of years ago, after going to the dentist and asking my family Doctor about this embarressing problem, I went to the ear,nose and throat Doctor ( ENT Specialist) . He said I had bad allergies and my sinus cavity was very narrow and my sinuses could not empty properly. I had surgery and he opened up my passages and it has been WONDERFUL!!! I take Allegra now, and I have no problems with "nose-breath" anymore!!! It wasnt my mouth, it was mucous in my sinuses! I know that soungs gross, but I am telling you...IT WORKED!!! Surgery seems like a drastic measure, but it worked TRULY!!! Go to an ENT!! Let them check it out!! Good LUCK TO YA !! I understand your dilemma!
