My 2yr old daughter's sweat smells like vinegar and she sweats a lot, even out of the bath, should i have her tested?

Consult a specialist: There are a number of metabolic disorders that cause unusual body odors. Some of them can be treated by a change in the diet alone. I would recommend having your child seen by a geneticist who specializes in these rare conditions to see if further work-up is warranted.
