Detailed Answer:
Hii. There are many causes of foul smell from nose. It may be due to allergic rhinosinusitis which is inflammation of the sinus mucosa. This allergy will produce profuse allergic mucin which will lead to foul smell. It may be due to any bacterial infection of the nose or any fungal infection of the nose. Both of these situations are extremely common. So you should undergo an endoscopy of the nose by an ENT surgeon. Do a x ray paranasal sinus to see if there is any infection of the sinuses. You can start an antibiotic and anti allergic tablet levocetrizine. Start fluticasone nasal spray as this will decrease the inflammation. And at the same time also start some saline nasal spray as it will wash all the discharge. If needed you can send the discharge to the laboratory for bacterial and fungal culture. After final report from the laboratory the diagnosis can be ascertained and medicine can be started accordion that.
