I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and cold last week and, thankfully, that's all cleared up. But now I'm dealing with this really unpleasant musty smell coming from my nose. It's really bothering me, and I just want it to go away as soon as possible. Can you suggest what might be causing this and how I can get rid of it?

I'm getting a bit concerned because my mom has been snoring really loudly for the past six months, and the sounds are, well, kind of unusual. Could this be a sign of thyroid issues, or might it be something else altogether?
