Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an infection in the nose.
It can cause the bad smell from the nose.
I suggest to use a saline nasal spray for local application.
I also suggest to check the sinuses to exclude the possibility of sinusitis.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
