Question
I’ve had bad breath for about a week. I didn’t eat much for breakfast. I have never received treatment. Seeking medication treatment.
Answer
Firstly, you should have a check-up at the dental department to see if there are any decayed teeth. If there are dental diseases or periodontal problems, treatment should be carried out, and the bad breath will disappear after treatment. In addition, attention should be paid to oral hygiene; mothers can gently wipe the child’s tooth surface and tongue with a saltwater solution. After breastfeeding, give a few more sips of water to clean the mouth. If dental and periodontal problems are ruled out, consider traditional Chinese medicine. If the child has poor spleen and stomach function, indigestion may also cause bad breath. Moreover, upper respiratory tract infections accompanied by oral infections may also lead to bad breath, but the bad breath will disappear after the short-term infection is relieved. In summary, bad breath should not be ignored, and it is best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
