Hi ! Usually the catarrh are viral infections which may resolve of its own with some symptomatic treatment. If your sputum has started smelling bad, most likely you have got a secondary bacterial infection. This needs to be taken care of . You are advised to see your family physician, who may advise you a course of antibiotics along with decongestant medications. You can also try simple steam inhalations at home. Wishing you an early recovery.
