What Could Cause Foul Smell From Nose Of A Toddler?

My 2 year old son has had this awful smell coming from him for the past 2 weeks. First i thought it was his ears.. nope. Then i thought his breath because he fights with me to brush his teeth. I was almost positive it was his breath. Tonight i smell it from his nose and his snots. What is it and how do i fix it?

Hi,
It seems that he might be having congestion in his nose and infection.
Due to congestion there might be having some exudate collection producing bad smell.
Clean the nose with cotton buds and apply antibiotic cream.
Put some decongestant nasal drops to clear the congestion.
Ok and take care.
