That others around you, such as your parents and the Drs, don't smell what you are smelling, possibly indicates that it is something known as olfactory hallucinations, or phantosmia. There can be a number of causes or triggers, and there are plenty of references if you search on line against either name.

Have any of these ENT doctors you've seen ever done testing to look inside your sinuses or your eustachian tubes?

If you can smell something that nobody else can then perhaps the smell is coming from your nose or the various tubes associated with it.

Perhaps a neti pot might help? Do a search for "neti pot" on Youtube.

Hiya I used to have trouble with my tonsils and I know what you mean when you are aware of a small that no one else can smell also ..

Have you attempted what used to be called a detox .

Try drinking clear filtered water for few weeks to flush your system .

Water filter are cheap enough I keep mine in the fridge has been a god send . Avoid processed foods or anything with addatives while cleansing blood ..

Have you had a vitamins nd folate blood test ? Do you have any results of anything to share ?
