Dear Amanda: It is my observation that vinegar or weak solution of vinegar (50% water and 50% distilled water) cleaning externally and internally will help remove the odor. In the long run, however, alkalizing your pH will raise your immune system and this may help prevent such problems. Take baking soda 1/4 teaspoon + 1/4 citric acid taken twice a day for a couple of days out of a week. '
Sometimes the immune system is weak and the odor can be an indicator. In this case taking some zinc acetate/zinc citrate supplements maybe once a week or twice a week 25 mg. would help too.
