Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having chronic sinusitis with cough collected in the sinuses giving rise to foul smell.
Go for PNS ( para nasal sinus) x-ray and find out the cause.
Consult ENT specialist and get examined.
Take Vicks vapor inhalation.
Complete antibiotic medicine.
Ok and take care.
