Allergic Rhinitis, chronic sinusitis
I have been suffering from both of these for a while now. It's almost been 8 months. My smell has stopped, and there's a bad smell coming from my nose. Thick greenish mucus discharge, difficult to drain. Blocked nose, runny nose, and sneezing also. Very frustrating to handle. Please let me know what can help. Have tried all medicines, sprays everything. Nothing helps. Please help.

You have caccosmia (bad smell) it is due to chronic sinusitis and also your complaining greenish discharge. please take nasal swab and sent it for microbiology for culture and sensitivity and then take sensitive antibiotic based on c/s report.

If u have allergic rhino sinusitis not getting relieved by medication then plz visit an ent specialist ... There might be polyps inside the nose as the sense of smell u said is lost ... This may require ct pns but only after considering what medication u have been taking ... Only after then due course of treatment can be decided
