Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this strange odor that you have reported. Often, these strange odors are transient and generally resolve spontaneously requiring no specific intervention. This often last a few days only. For this reason, I will like to know how long you have been getting this strange odor. If it is something that just started of recent, I will suggest that you exercise patience and this should slow afde away. If this has been for more than 1-2weeks, kindly report to me for more directives on how to get this figured out and managed right.


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
