What Causes Foul Smell And Blood Tinge In Nose After Tooth Extraction?

I had a upper tooth pulled about a month ago. two days later, I developed a awlful smell in my nose. Doctor put me on antibiotic for ten days which did not help. The smell eventually went away for about a week but just recently it came back. When I blow my nose in the morning, the discharge has a slight bloody tinge. recommendations?
