How Chronic BO may be due to Sinus Infections

This is only for people who feel they are at their wits in when it comes to why they have an odor that no doctor has been able to help them with, or who cannot seem to understand where their smell may be coming from and may  seem to have allergies to certain smells like perfumes, strong odors, or just problems with constant sinus infections. I read this in a forum I saw recently. I know it won't help everyone, but it may help some,  I agree with most things she said but not about it being "all in your head, God bless.

THIS IS IMPORTANT.
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SURE THEY SMELL, BUT NO ONE ELSE NOTICES IT!

I could smell something bad for the longest time. I knew it was me but no one noticed it or mentioned it!! I even got compliments on my perfume, etc.
so a friend told me that a severe sinus infection will allow you to "smell" the bacteria in your nostrils and sinuses. it can smell like rotten garbage. You think others smell it too, but they don't. Antibiotics will cure this odor.
So a lot of things can cause an odor and sometimes only YOU can smell it because it is inside where your smeller is!

Now sometimes people smell you as well:
A bad tooth can also cause you to "smell" the bad taste in your mouth. And other people of course may react to the smell coming from your teeth and your infected sinuses!
When my grandson had his adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears, the smell from his mouth was horrendous. And that was from the back of the throat not even the tonsils or teeth. As soon as he was healed it stopped.


if it is underarms or gentitals or feet, others would smell that as well. Feet is due to a fungus. A doc can help with these things. If a doc says you don't smell go to someone you really trust and make them be honest.
somethings can be all in your head too.
