Suggest Treatment For Infection In Nasal Cavity After Sinus Surgery

I had sinus surgery in april, all is good it seems. after a second follow a couple of weeks ago, they did a culture and seen another infection in my nasal cavity. I have just finished another round of prednisone, I am taking iterconazole and am now about 5 or 6 days into more antibiotics. I feel like there is stuff in my nose that isn't coming out but the worst is the horrible smell I smell seeming to come from up my nose. It's nasty and I am not sure if it's worth a trip back to the doctor right now?
