Patient's question:
In the past few months, I'm not sure what's wrong with my child. Every morning when they wake up, their breath smells very bad and unpleasant. Even brushing their teeth constantly doesn't help. At night when they rest and sleep, they also brush their teeth, but it still doesn't make a difference. I'm very worried. What can I do about my child's bad breath?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis refers to the odor emitted from the mouth or other air-filled cavities such as the nose, sinuses, and pharynx. Halitosis is not something to be feared; as long as the cause is identified, it can be treated. It is recommended to go to the hospital to determine the underlying cause, whether it is caused by oral diseases or non-oral diseases, and then proceed with treatment. It is also important to pay attention to oral hygiene in daily life. In addition to promptly treating halitosis, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding stimulating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away halitosis.
