there are many metabolic disease which give characteristic odour. maple syrup disease give odour similar to vitamin/cough syrup, some times even a simple urinary tract infection can give similar odour. a simple urine routine and micro, physical examination of your child can give a clue, then we can proceed for 2nd tire investigatios like metabolic screen if necessary
