Brief Answer:
Nothing serious - red flags mentioned

Detailed Answer:
Hi...unless there is green vomiting or blood in vomiting or headaches or fever...you need not worry. Smell of vomiting is not of concern. It usually depends on food eaten or may smell like this while a loose motions we episode is about to start. How long is it like this?
