Question
How to treat the problem of 12-year-old children’s bad breath?
Answer
It is recommended that the child consult a doctor to check for Helicobacter pylori infection. If positive, triple or quadruple therapy can be adopted for half a month, followed by another breath test to confirm if it has turned negative. If it has turned negative, no further treatment is needed. Additionally, family members should also be checked for Helicobacter pylori infection as it is a common source of infection. Moreover, it is advised to pay attention to diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to strengthen the immune system and accelerate recovery.
