What's wrong with a child having bad breath?

Patient's question:

Children have bad breath, mainly caused by what reason, how to solve it? What should be noted when using products?

Doctor's answer:

Some bad breath is temporary, such as after eating strong-smelling foods like garlic, onions, or leeks, but this is relatively uncommon. Common causes of bad breath in children are snacking, which can affect their digestive function or gastrointestinal diseases, such as Helicobacter pylori. If you smell eggs on your child's breath, it may indicate poor digestion; if it smells foul, it is likely inflammation in the child's mouth; a sour taste in the mouth may suggest gastrointestinal dysfunction in infants; and a metallic smell could be a sign of a bleeding disorder, such as nosebleeds or gastrointestinal bleeding. I recommend you see a doctor now, and if necessary, take your child to the hospital to check for any medical issues.
