How To Treat The Runny Nose And The Foul Odor Thus Caused?
My son has a runny nose and I just noticed his nose has a foul odor coming from it...this has happened once before and he had stuck paper up his nose, but I'm worried it might be his tonsils since the last time I took him to the doctor the doctor said his tonsils were enlarged.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Runny nose and foul odor suggests some infection of the nose.
It requires treatment with an atibiotic as well as an antihistaminic like cetrizine may be used.
If no relief within 3-4 days consult ENT specialist.
