pain in nose, smelly mucus

[cladophora]

About six years ago, I started getting sinus headaches, which were typically just pain in the bridge of my nose.  I saw my doctor at a time when I was not having a headache, and he said he could see inflammation and prescribed a nasal spray, which helped.  At this time, I would get very small gravelly and extremely smelly pieces of what I guess was hard mucus caught in my throat that I could eventually cough up (at first I thought this might be partially digested food).  Now my headaches are worse and more common, and these pieces of hard mucus are larger and more abundant.  They often seem to end up in my throat a few days after a bad headache.  What could be going on?

Tonsil stones -- compacted pieces of food caught in the back of your throat until you cough them up or dislodge them they are very smelly and greenish. They cause sore throats, bad breath and nasal infections. Disgusting I know, I've had them. Dentist suggests using a waterpik, you can sometimes dislodge them by using toothbrush at the back of the tongue and the throat. Avoid food like popcorn and nuts.

You probably have an infection going on and need to get a sample of that mucus sent off to be tested.
