Atrophic rhinitis
My daughter is only 10 month old. My daughter had this bad smell coming from her nose since april 2020 she was only of 5 month. We went to pediatric doctor who prescribed antibiotic, from the medicine she had relief for like 10 days. But soon she again had the same problem. Then i went to an ENT doctor in august, who then told me that she has some crusting in her nose that has to be removed. He did nasal endoscopy and removed the crusting, it was under GA. The crusting had bad odour. Then she was fine again for 5 days but now she again has this smell coming from her nose. Because she was under antibiotic she was ok but once anti biotics were removed she again has the same issue of smell. Her nose is continously running even though when she was on anti biotics. Can anyone please help what i should do ? I am doing nasal spray like 5 to 6 times a day.
Please help.

Can you share the nasal endoscopy report? Crusting and foul smell from nose is generally due to some foreign body in nose.
