I constantly smell a sweet-like smell making me want to vomit. what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sweet not too good: Nasal and/or sinus inflammation can cause altered smell. Less likely a tumor. However, diabetic ketoacidosis can cause a sweet odor secondary to excessive ketone production and can be an acute medical emergency.
