Try putting a bag of charcoal or box of baking soda in the drawer.
Think of a way to do this without dumping the charcoal dust or soda
powder. Putting the drawer out in the sunlight is a good idea.
Another fix is to clean out the drawer, sand it, then give it a spit
coat of shellac. Allow a week before putting the drawer back in
service.
Not my personal solution, but you can try to mask the odor by putting
a lavender sachet, a few bars of soap, fabric softener sheet, or a bag
of pet cedar chips in the drawer.
