What Causes Rotten Smell Protruding From Nasal Cavity, Bad Taste In Mouth?

HI I HAVE A 73 YEAR OLD GRANDFATHER, WHO HAS A ROTTEN SMELL PROTUDING FROM HIS NASAL CAVITY.

AS WELL AS A VERY BAD TASTE IN HIS MOUTH . HE IS LETHARGIC MORESO THAN USUAL TODAY ALTHOUGH HE WORKS THIRD SHIFT AND DOESNT ALWAYS SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT, I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR HIM.

I AM VERY WORRIED AND HAVE ADVISED HIM TO GO TO HIS PRIMARY CARE DR ASAP! PLZ GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT AS TO WHAT THIS ISSUE MIGHT BE, DOES HE NEED TO GO TO THE ER?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have said that you have your grandfather old aged he has bad taste bad breathe , it can be due to not able to maintain good hygiene so you can help him in doing Brush twice daily , and Mouthwash chlorhexidine twice daily , Do warm saline Gargle two - three times a day ,
For sinus problem you should go and consult ENT sugeon , get proper medication ,
Hope this will help you.
Wish him good health.
