I have had four surgeries over 7 years for cosmetic reasons on my deviated septum. The last time I had surgery I was warned that I may be left wth nasal drip due to the amount of procedures I have had...I accepted this and after my last operation in May 2008 I have had nasal drip which is aggrevated by dust and pollen etc I keep this at bay with cetirizine hydrocholride. Although the tip of my nose is always wet the thing that really gets me down is a pungent smell that seems to come with it when i breathe through my nose or touch my nose It's as if I'm disturbing something. I have only experienced this since my last surgery, I can only describe the smell as rotten and I worry that others can smell it...I asked my family and they said they cannot smell anything when I breathe through my nose. I don't have any bad tastes in my mouth. I still have a deviated septum after all that and now it smells! Please help, this smell is really getting me down!
