Very strong like chlorine smell in my nose

[monikoki]

Hi everyone, maybe this is a weird question and could not be related to cryptogenic cirrhosis, but I must give it a try and hopefully I'll have some answers...

From few months now when I get tired, I have this very strong chlorine like smells in my nose and mouth. In the beginning I didn't make a big deal of it but now, because is becoming stronger and more often it's starting worrying me.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Is is chlorine or more ammonia like? There are posts on line about does cirrhosis cause a chlorine/bleach smell and doctors say the smell is more ammonia like and this is due to a condition called fetor hepaticus. scarysymptoms.com/2014/02/c...

You need to make your doctor aware of this is if it is a new symptom.

I would ask your doctor about it. It may be to do with what Katie has posted or it may not. I know when I had pneumonia last month the smell was present for about a week and half. I also have had it a few times in the past any time I get a lung infection. When I looked it up I found that many people who have had lung infections especially bronchitis or pneumonia have made similar claims about the bleach smell in their nose and back of their throat. Let me know what the doc says as I'm interested to know as well. 🙂

I will not be able to see very soon a doctor. I have just moved into Spain and still waiting for my S1 form from the exportability benefits which is taking so long to arrive..

Hopefully my situation is not worsening too much meantime..

Of course, I will let you know about the outcome..

Thank you for your reply.

I've had the same smell for about 7 days. Vertigo came 1st. After it left. Very sick. Congested, coughing. Etc. My daughter fence is now having smell. It will burn your nostrils.. infection? Idk yet. But for some odd reason. It seems connected
