Had Concussion, Dizziness, Had Viruses. Has Had Weight Loss And Anemia. Body Odor?

Hi, my mother is almost 90 years old and I am looking after her. She has had a fall and then concussion and then dizzy spells and now is getting better. The thing is she smells of sour cream or sour butter. She has had a bad 2012/2013 which, I believe began when she was burgled and then she had some viruses after that and so forth. She used to weigh about 11 stone and now weighs about 9 or less. She is also anaemic. She refuses to have tests done re weight loss and anaemia. The concern at the moment is about the body odour.
