Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should have some biochemical abnormality. There are numerous biochemical disorder which gives ammoniacal smell from the body and bone pain. Such biochemical abnormality can only be diagnosed after the laboratory investigation. So until your result available from laboratory, I suggest you should wait. You can take symptomatic treatment like if you have pain you can take diclofenac under your doctors' guidance. Avoiding high protein diet reduce your body odor since such a compound arises from the amino acid of protein. Meat should be strictly avoided. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
