Default sulfur smell from sink

My bathroom sink was draining slowly so I plunged it and gunk came out
and it smelled really bad. Occasionally since then when I first turn
on the water in my sink I get a sulfur smell from the drain. Any idea
on what is causing this? Since I use the sink twice a day the trap is
always full of water so I do not imagine the sewage smell backing up.

Should I try Drain-o?

Thanks!!

When you plunged it, you probably loosened up a lot of rotten crap that was
lining the pipe. I'm not a big Draino fan, but it may be enough to clean
out the residue and make is fresh smelling again.
