What Is The Cause Of Foul Smelling Breath?
My husband took a bad fall on ice two days ago. A full Flintstone fall and landed on his upper back and knocked his head. He had X-rays and everything checked out OK with no sign of concussion. He s still in a lot of pain but what we re finding peculiar is that immediately after the fall he got this really, really foul smell on his breath and it has persisted. Any idea what that s about?
