Chronic sinusitis can cause foul smell in the nose. You may need to undergo diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses for confirmation of diagnosis. Once confirmed treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
