ENT Specialist,  's  Response
hi, welcome to HCM,
There are a number of different causes for bad smell in nose...nasal polyps sometimes be significant enough that it will obstruct the normal outflow tracts of sinonasal mucous which can back-up and can start to smell bad. Crusted mucus within the nose can also have a foul smell. The olfactory nerve (carries the sense of smell) disease can also leads to this bad smell . A good history, and an exam (including nasal endoscopy) will help a lot . Please see your ENT doctor soon.
