Hello It could be due to fungal or a bacterial sinusitis... Foul smell in the nose could be due to improper drainage of sinuses and added infection I suggest you to go to an ent specialist for clinical evaluation of sinuses and xray or a CAT scan as required.. A course of antibiotics and steroid along with other supportive medication should help you to get rid of symptoms.... In case of chronic condition, surgery is the definitive treatment.. Hope this helps you.. If you have further queries I would be happy to help you...
