What Causes Bad Breath And Smelly Nostrils?

I have a bad smell coming from my nostrils it the smell you get usually when your sick and you have a congested nose or something, but I have the smell all the time and wont go away no matter what the doctors at my clinic tell me to do. My nose gets really stuffy at night only in one side. But I also have bad breath I can brush my teeth and an hour later it won't smell fresh anymore. And sometimes I have postnatal drip.

Hello and welcome.

Please let me know when did you last visited your ENT specialist?
T here could be a sinus infection.why do not you meet ENT specialist and get a x ray done for sinus.

Once you get the reports,start with decongesants.It does not appear to be dental infection as per the history posted here.

Meanwhile you can do warm saline rinses and do steam inhalation for immediate relief.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
