The unpleasant smell coming from your p-trap could be caused by a buildup of debris or bacteria. To get rid of it, you can try cleaning the p-trap with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, or using a commercial drain cleaner. If the smell persists, you may need to replace the p-trap.

Probably rust and minerals that came loose when you turned the water off and plugged the screen in the spout. Unscrew the screen the the end of the spout and see if that doesn't fix it.
