Question 1

my urine smells like boiled egg like odour.my sweat & my breath smells the same.is it normal?. i'm a 20 year old boy. i'm worried?

Accepted Answer

: "Asparagus is notorious for making urine smell like sulfur after you eat it. Eating large amounts of onions or garlic can also cause this odor".
If you ate these foods a lot, stop them and drink well for a couple days. If the odor persists, you need to see a doctor for ruling out one condition called hypermethioninemia.

Question 2

my urine smells like rotten eggs and sulphur. my sweat & my breath smells the same. ppl say my breath smells like metal. no uti, diabetes, or std. ?

Accepted Answer

Metal: Traces of iron in hemoglobin present in blood, which is present in small amounts on an inflamed mucosal surface of nose and sinus, can create a "metal" smell. This can represent an infection. Do a home urine dipstick test on your urine.

Question 3

what does it mean when your breath smells like eggs?

Accepted Answer

Increase oral hygien: Try to eat less dairy products and be sure to continue or start regular dental maintenance visits.  Dailey oral hygiene,  including flossing and brushing is important. Also use a tongue scraper which can be purchased at the drug store.

Question 4

sudden bad breath? smells like eggs, sometimes in nose as well. been going on for 4 months now

Accepted Answer

Bad : Bad breath (halitosis) can be the result of many medical issues or simply the result of your diet.  For example, many people are unaware that their diet has garlic (in prepared meals, for example), which is metabolized in such a way that sulfur is expelled (from your lungs, not your mouth), and no amount of teeth cleaning or gargle will cure it.  It takes a day or so to work its way out.  
Sinus infections, tooth infections and allergic rhinitis can cause bad breath as well.  Some people develop white deposits in their tonsils called "tonsoliths" that may suggest an infection and that smell bad also.  See you doctor and see which if any of these may be the culprit as all of them have simple remedies.  Good luck!

Question 5

my 2 year olds breath smells like vomit all the time, what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Reflux: Without other details, we can't be sure. He could be spitting up in his mouth. Another reason for the smell is post nasal drip: if he has nasal allergy and produces mucus in his nose, it could drip to the back of the throat and cause the breath to be foul. Take him to the doctor to have this sorted out.

Question 6

my 9 year olds breath smells like urine.  what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

See ENT Specialist: He needs to be thoroughly examined by an ENT specialist to check for chronic sinusitis and gum disease. If he truly has "urine" like smell then he must have blood test done to check kidney function. Uremia causes such body odor.

Question 7

my 14 year old daughter has really bad breath and her sweat smells like vomit, for years .help?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: Does she brush 2-3 times a day, both gums and her tongue?  Does she floss daily? She needs to have meticulous home care to reduce bacterial population. Is she seeing a dentist? There may be some underlying issue that's causing the malodor.

Question 8

my four year old son breath smells like garlic all the time. we brush his teeth, floss and he uses mouthwash and the garlic smell is still there!

Accepted Answer

Garlic breath: Give him plenty of fluids,  avoid spicy food, chewing sugarless gum , brushing his teeth &amp;  gargling with antiseptic mouth wash can help, if persisted see his pediatrician &amp; dentist . Chronic  nasal congestion or nasal foreign  body can cause bad odor too . Good luck.

Question 9

Question 10

my 7 year old constantly has bad breath despite flossing brushing and mouthwash  constantly what can be causing this - she's had issue since 3years old i took her to an ent they saw nothing?

Accepted Answer

Check lungs: Occasionally bad breath can be caused by something like a lung abscess rather than problems with oral hygeine, nasal or sinus problems. Ask your doctor to test for that if they haven't already done so.
