Patient's question:
The doctor's child is in their freshman year of high school. Due to classmates occasionally asking about the smell and questioning if it was coming from him, he started to doubt himself, wondering if he was unknowingly emitting an odor. Now, the initial doubt has escalated into olfactory hallucinations, and he firmly believes he is the one emitting the smell. However, in reality, we haven't noticed any unusual odor on him.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help is needed: How to resolve this?
Doctor's answer:
This should no longer be olfactory hallucination but rather a case of rhinitis. The foul smell you perceive is actually the odor produced by saprophytic bacteria decomposing the purulent secretions in your nose. You can directly use the following method to properly care for your nose and gradually resolve the rhinitis issue. This method can also be used to prevent fever. After all, not having a fever is the best outcome. If you often feel sticky mucus in your nose, have nasal discharge, a foreign body sensation in your nasopharynx, or the urge to swallow something that you can't. Or if you experience runny nose when eating hot food.
