Horrid smell in nose after vomiting, everything stinks now!

On Halloween night, I got pretty drunk and the next day I vomited profusely (This is gross, sorry).  I was vomiting so hard that it was coming out of my mouth and nose at the same time.... chunks! (yuck).  

Ever since, I have this horrible odor in my nose that won't go away. It smells like vomit and rotten cheese. I've been reading online about this Sinus Flush, so I tried that... I mixed water/salt/baking soda and inserted in my nostrils bent over.... let it sit a few seconds and let my nose drain. Nothing much came out, just clear mucus.  

I'd think IF it was a sinus infection, there would be nasty green mucus coming out but there is nothing but clear liquid/mucus.  I can't eat, everything smells like vomit/rotten cheese and I want to vomit everything time I take a breath.  I am able to breath just fine, my nasal passages are so clear and I have no allergies... everything just stinks like DEATH.

I am assuming (gross), that there must be some chunks of vomit stuck somewhere and I don't know how to get it out or what to do.  Please help???? Sorry for the disgusting post.

**PLEASE READ** I've suffered for almost 2 decades with chronic post nasal drip and bad breath because of it. I'm currently 26 now and the last 2 weeks I went on an anti candida diet where I did not consume sugars/carbohydrates to kill off excess yeast. I ate lots of raw garlic with my foods.

That still didn't help with the post nasal drip or stinky mucus. I read more on this site and someone wrote about grape fruit seed extract mixed in with a saline spray... I don't have grape fruit seed extract but what I used was a nose sprayer with store bought clean/spring water and celtic sea salt mixed in.

I used tap water and table salt long ago and never went on the anti-sugar diet about a year ago and that didn't help so I think  the diet and the clean water and better celtic sea salt helped.  What i did was spray like 15-20 times or more into each nostril until the water ran into my mouth and it also dispelled a chunk of whitish-yellow mucus that assume was the infection but I can't be sure... it made my nose bleed and hurt like hell but for the whole day I didn't have any stink just a very small amount of post nasal drip.

I even binged the night before eating equilvalent to about 5 bowls of ice cream in sugar and still the next day when I tried the celtic sea salt spray into nose I was stink free the whole day.

If anyone is reading this please don't try store bought saline crap, make it yourself with clean water and healthier celtic sea salt... you might have to change your diet too because before this cure everytime I ate sugar/cobohydrates foods i would get massive post nasal drip and it made my stink worse.

Now eating sugary foods after this "cure" I still don't get a lot of post nasal drip. So I hope I may have helped someone because suffering for almost 2 decades was painful but now I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders and i can finally enjoy life and be with someone wow **PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD IN ALL THREADS**
