Suggest Treatment For Strong Ammonia Odor, Respiratory And Sinus Cold
I recently caught a respiratory and sinus cold and is all but gone and yesterday while eating a sandwich with dill pickles on it I had to spit it out due to the awful strong taste and or smell of ammonia, it happened again twice today while eating food with jalapenos and then on a hamburger with ketchup, 59 & healthy, never had this happen before, got me worried. Lots of stuff on the internet about kidney disease and the smell of ammonia, thanks for any info on this!
