Hi.
Thanks for your query, read and understood your concers.
This is called foetor.
In your case the reason looks obvious.
It is either atrophic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis.
I would advise you the following:
Consult an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation,examination and investigation.
CT scan helps a lot as are the blood tests .
If required, the culture reports.
Exact treatment as per the findings will help you a lot.
You also to learn self cleaning with soda bicarb solution .
