Many people think that bad breath is a dental problem, caused by not brushing their teeth in a timely manner or not paying attention to oral hygiene. Indeed, some people with bad breath are caused by poor oral hygiene, and smokers always have bad breath problems. Even babies can have bad breath. So, what causes bad breath in 2-year-old babies?
The intestinal function of young babies is already relatively poor. If there is indigestion or food accumulation due to incorrect feeding methods by parents, bad breath problems may occur. In addition, babies are prone to getting overheated and may also experience bad breath during constipation. A 2-year-old baby needs to brush their teeth every day, and if parents don't pay attention to this issue, bad breath can also occur.
If parents find that their baby's mouth smells bad, they should immediately think that the baby may have an internal heat and need to drink more water and eat more heat clearing and detoxifying foods. In addition, observe the baby's bowel movements. If the stool is dry and hard, or if constipation occurs, it is also due to internal heat, and it is necessary to give the baby some heat clearing soup.
In general, the causes of bad breath in babies are similar to those in adults. The reason why babies are prone to bad breath is due to low immunity and poor intestinal function. So when parents add complementary foods to their babies, the main principle should be easy digestion to avoid indigestion.
