What virus would cause a child to smell like rotten eggs?

Answer by  starmlw (960)

When my son gets strep throat, the first symptom is this foul breath that smells like sulfur or rotten eggs. He also gets diarrhea and vomiting with it and a rash on his bottom. See a doctor.

This is common. In many cases, it comes from a high sulfur content in the child's bowels. Seeing your doctor along with proper diet can often alleviate this problem.

Interesting. Rotten egg smell is usually sulphur. Sulphur can sometimes build up in the bowel, and that's probably what caused the smell here.
