Body Odour and Antibiotics
« on: January 21, 2015, 09:19:26 AM »
Hi Ladies
I am currently on a course of antibiotics for a chest infection. I'm on day 3 and I have noticed excessive sweating and horrendous BO! Obviously I am bathing as normal but I have never been a smelly person ever and I'm finding it a bit bothersome as its making me feel very self conscious. Has anyone else experienced this? I do think it is the antibiotics I just hope it goes away soon.
Thanks

Certain medications can cause taste alterations, some can cause agitation, probably it's the 'bug' seeping from your pores.  Certainly I had a 'whiff' for several years but DH couldn't smell it.  If you are sweating then it's the body getting rid of the 'bug'.

Does it have a particular odour, i.e. cheesy?
