I strongly recommend nasal lavation, that is, flushing nose cavities. For c. $10 one can get a nose washing bottle at Amazon, it's easy to use and it washes out the sediments in the nasal conchae (shelves). for example:

Good luck!
Hey, I just wanted to come on here and encourage all of you, there is HOPE and let you know especially when you trust God. A possible reason for the smell could be from your gut. There may be things clogged up in your colon and you may need to detox. I was just like you, searching everywhere for answers, trying any and everything possible but none of it worked, that’s because healing it’s a long process it doesn’t happen like magic, so be patient .Through prayer and surrender to God that’s how I finally started finding possible answers to my illness . I was literally fed up after a long draining day and I literally broke down and cried and had a long conversation with God, then things started to go smoothly, I went to school the next day and barely heard coughs, maybe a few here and there, but everyday has become better and better because of prayers and listening to the word of God. Dr. Morse has good detox kit you should try it. Also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables along with herbs that’s how your healing will start. I just recently received my detox kit am starting off and have faith it will work because am already seen improvements with my bowel movements. Be patient, God loves you.
I posted in another post on this, and here's what I said:
Hello! I have had the nose smell, before. I went to the ENT (Ear Nose Throat Doctor) where they stuck a camera way up my nose. I had nasal polyps, which means little growths prevent the normal draining of fluids - so the fluid would get stuck, get stinky, and that's what the source of my smell was. I had to take some antibiotics for infection but MAINLY there was two solutions to get rid of the polyps. Surgery, or nasal steroids. So we started with the nasal steroids (Flonase Fluticasone) which was prescription only back then. Luckily, it's over the counter now as people use it for allergies as well. It took a while but eventually the polyps shrunk and I am doing WAY better now. I still get issues now and then if I have a cold, so I know the polyps aren't 100% gone... but it's way way way better.
Also a sinus rinse (Neil Med Sinus Rinse) was a great way to flush out whatever is in there, it's a temporary fix but it's harmless so you can do it a lot. I don't even have to anymore because the issue is gone.
As for breath - it could be related, but it could be a separate issue? Have you been tested for Halitosis?
Another thought I had for bad breath is a) Floss twice a day and B) activated charcoal. They now have activated charcoal powders you can rub all over your teeth and mouth, (be SURE to get the kind for teeth, don't just pop open a pill, that will scrape your enamel off!) as well as charcoal toothpastes. The brand "hello" makes a nice one, you can get online or at CVS. I even have a bamboo toothbrush (from amazon) with activated charcoal bristles (heard bamboo may help bad breath as well) - not only does it help whiten your teeth, but they feel very soft, and guess what? I heard charcoal is amazing for many varieties of very bad breath, so win - win.
Don't give up, just keep trying different solutions and keep seeing different doctors. Keep a journal so every time you try a new thing, you can document what works and what doesn't. Also keep a daily log of how bad the smell is, what you ate the day before (believe it or not that affects it, like a night of beers gives me a very stuffy nose the next day).
Worse case you can try an elimination diet where you slowly remove things from your diet. Dairy, Gluten, etc to see if anything is messing with your gut and causing you to have flare ups.
I know this was a lot of info, but just don't give up!
This is the worst illness anybody could experience. I have it and the sad thing is doctors deny you have it. The claim they can’t smell anything. I have gone to the extent of getting my tonsils removed through a surgery called tonsillectomy, I have also done anothe surgery in my nose to clear up the air space, I take allergy shots every week, I have gone to the extreme to pay a dentist $3000 out of pocket for a stupid procedure. Suctioning bacteria from my gums and the back of my tongue. Bought freaking electronic tooth brush a special tooth past and mouth wash from this dentist. I brush my teeth twice a day scrape the back of my tongue and every ******* thing I have been told to do. I have exhausted all options I’m tired. The moment some one come to close to me they start covering nose. The moment I start partaking in a conversation the conversation ends suddenly. I can’t live like this no one can. And people think we are unhygienic, when we are ten times more hygienic than them. What more can I do in this situation I spend all my money trying out all kinds of mouth wash, chewing gums, tongue sprays every ******* thing in the world. I bought a navage nose rinse machine that pumps and suctions. I do it twice a day. I buy salt pads for that machine for $12 bucks every week. Like what more can I do? Sometimes I feel like ending it all. I have had several people talk behind my back about my breath and my nose smell. People mock at me and call me names.people laugh at me. I have tried everything and I’m hanging on my last ounce of strength. If anyone has any other suggestions from the above please contact me. I need help.
Got it too. It's as if I'm the only person in the house who can smell it. I almost considered flushing my snot box with lacquer thinner, but discounted the idea of self poisoning myself. I think I'll fall on my sword and actually get out and see my doc. Normally I'd rather take a stiff beating than sit in the doctors office all day, but this is just too nasty smelling..
Hello everyone, I to suffer from this, its bad because people don't even want to talk to me.
I use a shot glass and warm water, with Bicarbonate Soda in it.
A very little bit of Bicarbonate of Soda, so the water isn't cloudy.
Then one nostril at a time, breathe out then breath in throw one nostril the water.
Coughing should ensue straight away, hold your nostril closed and, well the rest you will figure out.
Spit away all that nasty stuff that comes out of your nose and repeat with other nostril.
I have been doing this for a few days now, and I all so added Himalayan Salt to my mixture.
I am all so going to add cloves to my mixture, which I have soaked in a glass in some water.
Just so I can use the water that has clove essence in it as well.
I now hove a syringe, which I will try with the same mixture, and squirt it into each nostril.
Good luck people I hope I helped.
Hope it works Muhammed.
Enjoy your day.
P.S.
Do it in the bath, because at first your body rejects swallowing liquids through its nose.
This can lead to you coughing and spraying a lot of un-nice stuff all over the place.
Your coughing fit will go on for some time do it a twice a day or more if your can.
Hi All,
I have had this problem for a year, after trying many things to get rid of the rotten smell nothing worked. I tried various creams and ointments and a nasal cleaning.
I did a lot of research and I found that an allergy spray, Fluticasone Propionate (Glucocorticoid) has the best results. After a few sprays you notice the smell going, I follow it up with a saline nasal gel, I got both over the counter from Walgreens. The smell went completely for 4 months, it did come back but then I followed the steps above and it went again. I hope this helps.

CHECK YOUR GUT FLORA OR MICROBIOME WITH TESTS.THERE ARE A LOT OF BACTERIA BUGS CAUSING HYDROGEN SULFIDE EXHALING FROM NOSE
I think antibiotics are so bad for this bad smell it makes it worse but i have to take them because i have urine infection what should i do i Can smell it it is way awful than before i feel like dying
Try the friggy flush. Google it. It is great. This smell comes from an infection in the sinuses. After having sinus surgery I had a very hard time with removing all the hardened blood and mucous stuck in my nose.....and after a month began smelling a stench coming from my nose as well. I searched the internet for days and then came across the Friggy Flush...(it's an internet thread) Be sure to read all the comments and the ENT-Docs replies. There is a specific way to do this...It is easy but messy.
Do not do the friggy flush more than 2 days in a row because you are using a double dose of salts and can cause harm if abused. This flush works by cleaning out deep inside the sinuses and even up into the frontal sinuses. I do it in the shower because it is messy... Also, try putting a clove of garlic in your cheek and bite it once in a while...keep it in your cheek, put a new once in as needed. Garlic has a natural antibiotic in it. Do the garlic thing for about 2-3 full days.
Tonsil stones. Behind your tonsils.
Apparently I have just been told by my SO that I have a bad odor coming from my nose or throat that I cannot smell. Lovely. What could it be?
Greetings!
I suffer from the same problem for 10 years, I live in Brazil, where healing through medicine is very improbable, but there are reports of healing with a natural oil called "copaiba and andiroba oil"
However I will try the treatment with coconut oil, neosporin cream, erythromycin and saline.
After that I will comment again
good luck to everyone!

Now while reading this I will try your suggestions and comments here

Hi, I am 31 years old and have had a bad smell coming from my nose for over half my life. I am not sure as to the source of the illness, but one thing is for sure, it definitely stinks physically and psychologically. It is super debilitating as the smell emirates from the nose and mouth (halitosis) and dramatically limits social life and seclusion is a normal way of life. I've had multiple embarrassing moments where family, friends and strangers have either pointed out the smell and/or have recoiled as a result of the smell. Not pleasant or encouraging to one's self of steam, in fact, it is absolutely devastating to know that there is something wrong and that no one wants to interact as a result, worst yet, that there doesn't seem to be a solution. However, despite the fact that there doesn't seem to a root cause solution I have found some means by which to mitigate this problem and hope that my experience can help others and that other's experience can help me as well! To make this short and to the point, I am going to list the things that I have done that I believe have not worked and the things that I have done that I believe have worked to manage this problem.
Things that I have done that I don't believe have worked:
-Balloon sinuplasty
-Sinuplasty
-Septoplasty
-Saline rinse
-Numerous antibiotics
-Numerous mouthwashes
Things that I have done that I believe have worked to manage this medical condition:
-CiproFloaxin HCL (one round)
-Nystatin (fungal mouth wash)
-Mupirocin Oitment (nasal ointment)
-Tonsillectomy
-Sinus clearing technique
1.While looking at the horizon tilt the head to either side (as if to touch the left ear to the left shoulder) cover one nostril and inhale, cover the other nostril and inhale (alternating nostrils) and repeat on the other side (i.e., tilt the head as if to touch the right ear to the right shoulder and inhale through the open nostril). - every hour
2. While looking at the horizon tilt the head back (look at the sky) and cover either nostril and inhale, then do the same thing with the opposite nostril (in hale through the open nostril) - every hour
-Valsalva maneuver (look up a video on line) - every hour
-Clearing lungs as if expelling phlegm from the lungs / air way - every hour
-Avoiding blowing nose (unless to sneeze)
-Avoiding putting anything in nose (i.e., picking nose - to avoid introducing any organisms that should not be in the nose)
-Gluten free diet
-Coconut oil (small amount added to diet)
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and the information that I am providing is strictly my experience as someone that suffers from this (stinky nose) condition.
I hope that we can find a great means to manage and ideally cure this medical condition through personal experiences (patient and doctor experiences) and through further research (by patients, doctors, and researchers) into the root cause of this debilitating medical condition.
Hi,
I have been suffering with the same symptoms since last 2 years and slowly have started loosing friends. Feel very awkward talking to people when they cover their nose. After lots of search i feel my search has come to an end with this site. I am currently following the process for only two days and have observed surprising improvement. Could not feel that bloody poo like smell and slowly gaining confidence on this. Will update this page post 10 days of following the process. Lets now come to the process i am following -
1. Get up in the morning. Have two glass of little warm water.
2. Post brushing teeth, have little warm water with salt (completely diluted) and fill the solution in a "Neti Pot" (can be easily found in medical store). Put the nossle of the pot in one nostril, slightly bend your head on the other side so the water passes through your nostril and come out of the other. This will clean your nasal tunnels and prevent mucus and bacteria from regeneration. Follow this for other nostril and have this process done at-least twice a day.
3. Take 3-4 drops of coconut oil and put them in both of your nostrils till you feel the taste of it.
4. Post lunch, continue following flossing teeth, cleaning tongue and brushing teeth. Have one Erythromycin 500mg (for adult) tablet.
4. In the evening try to do the step #2 one more time.
5. At night, post dinner have one more Erythromycin tablet.
6. Just before going to bed have the coconut oil process done once more (step #3).
That's it. On the very first day, i could observe a sudden change in my taste. My nose was never giving me bad taste.
Many thanks to nosydeadkitty and Nosyparker whose process i am following in combination and so far i am having my confidence back slowly. Hope this would get me my life back. Will post an update on the 10th day about my experience.
Thanks again to all members who have shared their story for helping others.
Regards
Hi,
So I can only think of more questions. Does he smell like old milk? I have had patients with that and they usually had a digestive or intestinal problem.
Does he smell like bad breath? Does he have acid reflux or heartburn? If yes, he might have bits of food stuck on swollen point at the back of his soft palate or throat. The swollen areas are from the acid. Have him get it checked out. None of the things I mentioned are things to ignore as they could eventually lead to a larger health concern in the future
I have been dealing with this problem my whole life and im still searching for cure. Well i started seeking out about 7 months ago. Went to the dentist first, took xray and was cleared of any plague or anything that could cause bb. I went to the ent next and during the first apptmt i was told that i could be having post nasal drip and lpr. They gave me nasal spray and omeprazole but didnt work at all. When i went for the second apptmt and told them that nothing has changed, they checked me again and i was told that they couldnt see any problem with my ent. I was really puzzled. First they told me i had pnd and lpr, now they said they couldn't see anything wrong in my ent. The best part it wasnt the same doctor who checked me the first time. Anws, i went to the doctor again to get referred to gastro. She was really reluctant to get me referred as she claimed that my breath was fine, though of course it's actually not and even had the guts to tell me that i have some psychological issues. Like as if im crazy. Anw, i pleaded her to get referred to gastro and get my stomach checked. So, i finally got my endoscopy done but sadly (yes sadly) the news wasnt what i expected. i was told that my stomach was fine, no bad bacteria and such as i had hoped. Now, im going back to my first step again which is to get my oral check at the dentist. But this time i have it done at a dental clinic where they have bb management and halimeter equipment. Im going to my second apptmt soon and i hope to get something to advance. Im also taking good care of my oral like having my tongue cleaned (my tongue has super white coating and i cant get rid of them like seriously) and brushed twice a day now. Btw, i noticed that i have some bumps at the back of my tongue and i wondered if that could be (one of) the cause(s) of my bb. I also noticed recently that people can smell my bb even when im not talking like they can smell me from the breath that i released out (if that makes sense). How do i know? I can see some reactions from people around me eg covering/rubbing their nose and coughing when they dont have coughs in the first place. Im sensing wherever i go the smell just follows its crazy. Im really depressed about my condition and i hope to get some solutions... Please pray for me.. I have a life that i envision.. And this life that i currently live is just ruining me.. Im so sad...
I suffered from the bad nose smell for nearly a year. I had polyps removed which resolved it for a couple of weeks but then it came back. I mentioned the fungal link to my consultant but she wasn't impressed. I also mentioned it to my GP who similarly wasn't impressed but agreed to test for candida by doing a swab in my mouth. This came back positive so I decided to try and treat this. I did some nasal rinses with a few drops of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) but also drank water with about 10 drops of GSE twice a day. I then moved on to oil of oregano tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening. The first time I took them I took 2 in the morning and I'm pretty sure I could feel it working in my sinuses. I'm not sure how long it too, but the smell has now gone for 4 months. I now just do a nasal rinse with saline solution twice a day and take 2 GSE tablets. I also take 2 propolis tablets to help with inflammation. My sinuses feel a lot clearer now as well. Hope this may help someone else.
