Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.
Foul smell from nose can occur due to a number of reasons. The primary reason is some sort of obstruction. It can be a foreign body or a polyp. Deviated nasal septum or sinusitis could also lead to similar presentations. You need to get a ENT consultation and a rhinoscopy done (looking inside the nose with a probe). The intervention will depend on the underlying cause.
Try taking some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily. Also take steam inhalation. These should provide some relief.
