Any changes in the child's health are immediately noticed by responsible parents. There are a number of reasons why your baby may have halitosis. This is noteworthy.
Bacteria live in the baby's mouth. They can be divided into two groups. Conditionally pathogenic microorganisms should be in the same quantity as pathogenic ones. This balance is the key to the health of the entire oral cavity. Some changes in the child's body can cause activation of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, as a result of which bad breath appears in the child.
Reasons for the smell
Consider the reasons why this might happen:
Inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity
Ailments such as sore throat and pharyngitis can lead to bad breath. As the disease is treated with aerosols and rinses, the smell will disappear.
Tooth decay or inflammation of the gums
There are special remedies that relieve gum inflammation. Along with inflammation, the unpleasant odor disappears.
Dysbacteriosis
Because of this, baby's breath can be pungent. Parents spend a lot of energy on his treatment, because putting the baby's intestinal microflora in order is not such an easy task. After its completion, it is necessary to do everything so that the dysbiosis does not reappear.
Disrupted metabolism
Impaired metabolism can also cause bad breath. The pathology could have been acquired by the child at the genetic level from the parents.
These are the most common causes of bad breath and are treatable and, in some cases, even go away on their own. It should be said that there are diseases in which bad breath is a vivid symptom of a serious illness.
Diseases and odor
If even after that, the child has a bad breath for two to three days, then it is recommended to consult a pediatrician. He can refer to the dentist and this is quite reasonable. If this specialist does not find the cause of the smell, then a thorough examination and diagnosis will have to be carried out by a pediatrician. The list of necessary diagnostic measures includes standard tests, ultrasound of the stomach and other internal organs, consultations of narrow specialists.
A putrid odor indicates a low acidity of the baby's stomach and its inflammation. Many people know that the smell of acetone is a clear sign of diabetes. This is indeed the case. The characteristic smell of ammonia indicates a disorder in the functioning of the kidneys.
Only a qualified doctor will be able to make this or that diagnosis, so parents should not make assumptions about the cause of the unpleasant odor themselves and, moreover, treat the child on their own.
