Patient's question:
My child is 3 years old this year. A boy. He has very bad halitosis. What's going on??？？？？ His weight is only 23 pounds. No, I want to know the reason. The impact on health,Doctor's answer:
Children with indigestion of milk and food in the stomach often experience recurrent bad breath first, especially morning bad breath and sour mouth, which are manifestations of food stagnation. Clinically, this is referred to as high-level food stagnation. The child often has a very strong odor in the mouth upon waking or when burping. It is recommended that if a child's morning bad breath and sourness are due to food stagnation, and this phenomenon occurs, the child can reduce food intake or skip a meal to allow for complete recovery of gastrointestinal function. For children with bad breath caused by poor digestion, digestive aids and soothing medications such as pepsin, multi-enzyme tablets, lactase, and tannic acid protein can be used. In severe cases with bacterial infection, antibiotics can be administered. For severe vomiting, fasting for 12 hours is advisable, followed by a gradual transition from sugar water and rice soup to a normal diet. In cases of severe dehydration, fluid replacement should be administered promptly.
