I believe every parent hopes that their baby can grow up healthy and happy, and also hopes that their baby can become a beloved and fragrant baby. However, due to various reasons, babies may also develop various small problems, such as bad feet, bad breath, etc., so parents are very worried. So, how is foot odor and bad breath caused in children?
Children's foot odor and bad breath are two different symptoms, and there is no necessary connection between the two. Therefore, in order to understand the reason, it is necessary to conduct an examination based on the child's own characteristics. Foot odor may be related to fungal infections in one's own feet. Bad breath may be related to one's own oral diseases, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to see if there is any disease.
If there are no problems with the oral examination, it may be caused by indigestion. If this is the case, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. Bad breath in children can be divided into two types: damp heat in the stomach meridian or food accumulation. Children with damp heat may exhibit yellow tongue coating, red tongue texture, accompanied by bad breath. In severe cases, they may also experience restlessness, lack of sleep, and dry stools. Generally speaking, under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, taking some medicines that clear heat and dry dampness can quickly restore this condition. If bad breath is caused by overeating, it is related to improper diet and feeding. Such children may have a thin complexion but normal mental state. If this is the case, adjusting the child's diet can help them recover quickly.
Children's foot odor is caused by excessive sweat glands in the soles of their feet, which make them prone to sweating. Sweat contains not only water and salt, but also substances such as lactic acid and urea. These substances will emit a foul odor under the action of bacteria in the feet. If shoes are not breathable and the air is not well ventilated, the odor will accumulate and become stronger. In this situation, tetracycline can be ground into foam and applied to the toe crevices to ensure the disappearance of foot odor within a month. To thoroughly sterilize and deodorize, it is best to let the baby take off their shoes and socks or wear sandals to allow the skin on their feet to breathe. If they insist on wearing socks, it is best to use cotton materials as the main material, which can absorb sweat and be soft, and can help absorb sweat.
