How to deal with a child's bad breath?

Patient's question:

My child is three years old. Recently, I've noticed a bad odor in their mouth, which is quite unpleasant. They haven't been very enthusiastic about eating dinner lately. They've been taking medication for bronchitis, which was caused by a cold, for almost a month, and they're still taking it now. I'm wondering if this situation with my child is related to long-term medication use or if it's related to their spleen and stomach?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's behavior is likely due to taking medication, which has led to a weakened spleen and stomach and poor digestion. It is important to actively nourish the body in daily life. You can give your baby probiotics to help regulate the condition for a period of time. For patients with bad breath, the daily treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can use some oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also paying attention to regular routines and avoiding alcohol. It is hoped that patients with bad breath can recover quickly!
