What is the reason for bad breath?

Patient's question:

My child is three years old and often has bad breath.

Doctor's answer:

The causes of children's bad breath are generally as follows:
1. Oral lesions.
2. Nasal diseases, such as rhinitis, sinusitis, etc.
3. Throat diseases, such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, etc.
4. Stomach diseases, such as reflux gastritis, esophageal relaxation, etc.
Although there are many causes, most are related to oral issues. Therefore, you should first see a dentist, actively treat oral conditions, and practice correct and effective brushing, including cleaning the tongue. If the results are not satisfactory, you can consult an otolaryngologist or a gastroenterologist.
