What Causes Foul Smelling Burps While Suffering From Fever?

my daughter is running a 101.1 temp she is 10 years old and her burps smell awful like sewage.. This has happened before the smell and she seems to get really tired and nausea then it will go away. This is the 3rd time and now it is back with vengeance it seems.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for the health problems your daughter is going through.

Fever is causing weakness and perhaps loss of appetite even not consuming water.
This is causing her stomach to produce more acidic fluid. This can get back to throat and causing bad smelling.

Furthermore, if she doesn't take proper care for her oral hygiene, then, the smelling is more intense.

Next, fever if viral is also associated with gastrointestinal infection, and indigestion of food., which makes the smelling worse.

So, give her lots of fluids and antacids and probiotics to keep rehydrated, stabilize stomach pH and intestinal flora.

If still no improvement, should consult with her physician for further evaluation and a more specific treatment.

Wish fast recovery.
