Weird rotten cheese-like smell in nose 4 weeks post op Rhinoplasty. Any suggestions?

January 12, 2016
Asked By:alyazmalim in Ohio, OH

I started having a really weird rotten cheese-smell in my nose after my rhinoplasty. I'm currently 4 weeks post op and from what I've searched, it seems that a lot of people were having the same problem. Would anybody else smell this from my nose if I were to stand or sit by them (it's kinda awkward to ask someone) or is it in my nasal cavity? What should I do?? Is it safe to use Netipot 4 weeks post op??
