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.
