Bad smell from nose

I have had a bad smell in my nose for the past few months and people around me can smell it. They told me it smells fruity or like urine.

I have tried gargling, steam and sprays such as saline and avamys when I went to an ENT specialist to get help for my blocked nose. The avamys unblocked my nose but I think it made the smell worse. The ENT specialist told me that I might have nasal polyps.

I have also mostly lost my sense of smell.

I have noticed that after drinking or eating a lot, the smell disappears for a bit. For example, I drank a lot of soup once and the next day my nose and throat felt clear.
