Cleaned aerator, found trouble, caused double.

My bathroom faucet water was smelling like sulfur, but not the rest of the water faucets, so I took out the aerator to clean it and found a bunch of little rocks that look like solder. Flush the hot and the cold got a bunch of solder rocks from the cold side especially if I tapped or shook the pipes a little, a whole bunch more came out. Tried this on the hot water side, nothing came out but now the pressure is very low. I imagine I dislodged something which is now blocking part of the faucet's hot water line. Bad news is, the shower's hot water pressure is now also very low. Best course of action? Drain all hot water back to WH and hope it gets dislodged? Flush pipes? Disassemble? Call a pro? Oh, and the cold water still smells a little sulfury. All advice appreciated.

what I do is turn off water disconnect the supplies from the shut off valve remove shut off valve as well under sink and connect a bigger hose or a bucket and have some one turn water on blasting it out turning on and off several times (be careful use your head don't make a mess) make sure the valve is clear inside reassemble and retry
