Professional help : Please visit a dentist or doctor today! ulcers in soft tissue on throat lining is not normal. Smelly anything expressed from otherwise closed body system often indicates infection. Some may be just a beginning sign of such infection or tumor, and getting professional exam and care makes a difference between needing only simple care vs extensive, invasive treatment.

Smelly stuff: sounds like you have an infection. See your GP, Urgent Care, or an ENT.
