Bad Smell from nose, blocked nose
I have recurring allergies and along with it comes runny nose and blocked nose. What follows is loss of smell and some bad Smell coming from my nose. It is serious? I have been taking montair LC for 5 days. But this makes the mucus thick and hard to drain. Smell doesn't come back unless I am on steroid medication. I have been doing nasal rinse daily and using steroid spray - furamist. Is there any other way to stop this? I want my smell back without having steroids. Please help.

You need to be on anti allergic treatment on a regular basis. See an ENT specialist and get one Diagnostic Endoscopy done.

Since you have nasal allergy, spray would be best option of treatment
If foul smell comes and if mucous discharge is thick then it may be an infection
