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?

Rinse your nose with normal saline,take cetrizine tablet for 3 days, maintain hygiene,if it's still there, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
