Short answer. You have mixed infections, along with fungal infection in the nose and sinuses.
Long answer: The above infections will have to be treated asap by an ent surgeon, who will prescribe you ant fungals and antibiotics.
Also please get the nose discharge tested for culture and sensitivity test. This test will identify the infective bacteria, along with report the best antibiotic which you Must take as long as the second test for culture is negative.
