You seem to be suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis which is a common type of nose infection. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses. Halitosis can occur because of chronic rhinosinusitis because of post nasal discharge. Once diagnosis is confirmed treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
