Just saw your tooth infection post.  Yes, a tooth infection can go into the maxillary sinus.  A Neilmed Sinus Rinse works for the maxillaries, but I'd recommend the doctor/antibiotic method first.

Not uncommon.  I recommend going to an ENT first.  A Neilmed Sinus Rinse may help.  If nothing else works, a Flip-Turn Sinus Flush will get rid of it if it's an infection.  See section 17 for other causes of sinus stench.

The Flip-Turn Sinus Flush is mildly risky, because you have to bend over to do it, preferably in a shower, but you can also do it outside on soft ground.
