Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms can be related to sinusitis.
Sinus infections come in a few varieties, none of them pleasant, and all of them have the potential to fill your nose with an icky smell.
A physical examination and an x-ray is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
