Why Does The Sweat Of My 3-year-old Son Smell Like Medicine?
Hello there. My 3 year old son s sweat smells like medicine, like an open pill bottle or something. He hasn t taken any type of medicine in MONTHS. I think January was the last time he was on an antibiotic for an ear infection. Should I be concerned?
