Why am I experiencing a constant fishy smell in my nose, a blocked nose, sneezing, a mild fever, mucus dripping down the back of my throat, and throat pain after taking Azithral 500, Montek LC, and Dolo 650mg for a cold, and could this be linked to my previous ear, nose, and throat issues?
The blocked nose, throat pain, and especially the fishy odor with dripping mucus strongly suggest a sinus infection, which is likely linked to your previous ENT history. Stagnant mucus in sinus cavities often causes this unusual smell. Your current medications?Azithral (azithromycin), Montek LC (montelukast/levocetirizine), and Dolo (paracetamol)?are appropriate for treating infections and congestion, but they can take a few days to show full effect. Please stay well-hydrated and try saline nasal rinses. If symptoms worsen, please consult your ENT specialist for a gentle evaluation to ensure you heal safely.
