Some children wake up in the morning with an unpleasant smell in their mouths, which is called bad breath. A healthy person with a clean mouth rarely has bad breath. Bad breath is not an independent disease, but a symptom. To get rid of bad breath, first find the cause of bad breath.
Food-induced halitosis: After eating foods such as onions, garlic, leeks, fish, shrimp, and mutton, food-induced halitosis often occurs. However, if these foods are stopped, the bad breath will disappear naturally in 1 to 2 days. Chew tea and dates in the mouth for some time, and the bad breath will be relieved.
Corrupt bad breath: It is mostly caused by unsanitary oral cavity, such as not brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, not rinsing your mouth after meals, tartar accumulated on the gingival margin and food residues in the gaps between the impacted teeth or in the cavities, which will stink after fermentation and corruption smell. To eliminate this bad breath, we must pay attention to oral hygiene. If there is a cavity, go to the hospital for treatment in time. People with periodontal disease can also emit putrid bad breath due to the action of bacteria in the food residues, necrotic tissue and pus in the periodontal pockets, which produce indole, sulfhydryl and amines. As long as the periodontal disease is treated and the lesions are eliminated, this bad breath will also be eliminated. Necrotizing inflammation in the oral cavity, such as necrotizing gingivitis, malignant granuloma and other diseases, will cause significant putrid bad breath. This is not a simple bad breath problem, but these diseases should be treated.
Purulent halitosis: Ulcers, erosions, and suppuration are formed at the lesions of diseases such as foreign bodies in the nasal cavity of children, atrophic rhinitis, sinusitis, suppurative tonsillitis, lung abscesses, and bronchiectasis, which can cause bad breath. The bad breath also disappeared.
Sour halitosis: commonly known as acidic halitosis, more common in children, is a dyspepsia caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, often smelled when belching. After treatment, the gastrointestinal function recovered, and the bad breath disappeared.
Rotten fruit bad breath: seen in diabetic patients, it smells like acetone or rotten apples. After the diabetes was cured, the bad breath disappeared.
