Mother's sneeze sweet/musky smell.

I am asking this on behalf of my mother.She is forty one years old,perfectly healthy and physically fit.When she sneezes,a very sweet,musky smell is emitted.It can be described as floral or honey like.Its not bad at all.The smell is strong and lingers for a bit,and can be smelled from several feet away also.Its not genetic because no one else in her family has this.Some experts say that tonsils,sinusitis or diabetes could cause this but my mother does not suffer from any of these conditions.Just to let you know,my mother has  a wet sneeze,with a lot of mist and spray emitted in it.Thanks.

I think a doctor might answer but you can go to the "ask a doctor" here and i believe you would need to pay.

An additional detail,it seems as if she sneezes through her  nose,not her mouth.

Well,I appreciate your suggestions but I am afraid none of them seems to be likely because she does not wear dentures,does not have acid reflux,rarely  drinks juice and as for tea,well she had this symptom even while living in another country,before coming to UK.

I just noticed that your from the UK, its could be the tea she drinks as has a sweet musky smell. She might be allergic to tea and makes her sneeze up the undigested tea water.

Hi and welcome. Sneezing is a very strong force that could cause stomach contents to come up or even unrinsed tooth paste to shoot out. Does she wear dentures or does she have acid reflux? Is there a sweet juice that she drinks regularly?
