Doctor's answer:

Childhood halitosis may be caused by food stagnation or excessive stomach heat. It can also be accompanied by constipation. Carefully examine the child's regular diet. Temporarily reduce meat intake and increase vegetables and fruits. If there is food stagnation with poor appetite and unformed stools, Chinese medicine for strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion should be taken. In addition to treating halitosis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness.
