A bad smell like this often comes from bacteria that produce sulfur compounds such as a compound called hydrogen sulfide, which is the cause of “rotten eggs”. You should try to locate an ENT specialist with an interest in halitosis. Topical nasal antibiotics and frequent nasal irrigation/washing may also help to remove mucus from the nose and sinuses. To learn more about this technique please read our nasal wash treatment information by copying and pasting this address
