What might cause a young child to smell distinctly sweet?
I’m asking this question for a friend. He is making an appointment with the pediatrician, but this has grabbed ahold of him today and he is itching for some answers or even possibilities.
His son is 4½ years old, and he wakes up smelling very strong and sweet in the mornings. Dad has noticed a strong odor from his urine, and also notice that the child smells later in the day, even if he has had a bath. Otherwise he is a normal, healthy, happy child.
What sort of questions should he ask the doctor?
Could this be indicative of diabetes?
Aside from diabetes, what else might this mean?
