It can be a pretty usual thing especially with Lager Yeasts a sulphurous smell. It will usually dissipate after fermentation

Spot on.
Just to be sure, though, if you have any beer or wine yeast nutrient, chuck half a teaspoonful in there.

This is an example of "the placebo effect". The beer will turn out great with no additional medication required.
