HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may have a bacterial or fungal infection of the sinuses that need treatment especially since the discharge has an odor.
You need to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment. In addition to topical steroids and oral anti histamines, antibiotics may be needed.
I hope this helps
