What Could Be The Reason For Bad Odour From Nose ?
Hi, my 2 year old son has this bad smell coming from his right nostril of and on for about 5 months now. It's so bad sometimes I can smell it from sitting beside him:( we saw a ENT speicialist and he took a small piece of mucus out of his right nostril, it seemed a bit better for awhile but I can totally smell it again just by holding him. What could be the problem? I took him to the doctor 4 times before we saw the specialist . I'm tired of doctor visits with no improvements. Do you have any answers ? Thanks for listening !

Presence of foul smell from the nostril, possibility of foreign body in the nose should be considered and ruled out appropriately.
If there is residual symptoms, endoscopic evaluation may be considered
