Hi Jon,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
This can be sinusitis, but it can also be because of the dryness of the nose causing crusting of the secretions and foul smell. Drink plenty of warm water to reduce the dryness, use saline nasal drops 3-4 times/day, do steam inhalation. If the symptoms persist please do consult your ENT specialist.
Take care
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
