What Causes Unusual Smell Between Chin And Lip Area?
Hello! I have a weird sour smell in the valley between my chin and my lower lip and a fullness in my left side of my abdomen. I have had to smell for quite some time and have been trying to get rid of it using different treatments such as a liver cleanse. The smell is kind of like rotting milk. Any ideas?

Hello,
The symptoms can be due to any decaying tooth or can be due to infection in the salivary gland. So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated. A thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like x-ray and saliva culture can help in ruling out the exact cause and treatment can be done accordingly. For now,
-Chew sugar-free chewing gum.
-Suck lemon drops.
-Do warm saline gargles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
