Allergies: A bad smell could be from a sinus infection. With the chronic allergies, you are a set up for that. I do not know what the dark red line would be, but you should consider seeing your doctor to be examined for a sinus infection. They can have a look and tell you more about the red line, too.

You need: to have a ENT specialist to evaluate you. You could have a chronic peri tonsil abscess.. needs to be ruled out. Only cure incision and drainage.
