In fact, parents need to pay attention to their babies' oral hygiene every day, and their babies' oral performance can also reflect their physical condition. So, if parents smell their baby's bad breath or sour breath, they need to seek timely treatment to avoid the problem from getting bigger. However, in order to receive treatment, the cause needs to be identified first. So, what causes bad breath in a one and a half year old baby?
The reason why babies have bad breath may be due to improper diet. Many parents who do not pay attention to their baby's diet can easily cause gastrointestinal disorders due to improper feeding, leading to bad breath in the baby. Moreover, if a baby eats food contaminated with bacteria, it can also cause an outbreak of enteritis, leading to bad breath.
Moreover, if a baby falls ill and does not seek medical attention in a timely manner, parents may self medicate the baby. Overuse of antibiotics can lead to an imbalance in the baby's gut microbiota, resulting in bacterial growth and the development of bad breath in the baby's mouth. Moreover, babies have weak resistance, and when the weather changes greatly, it can affect their digestive system, leading to oral odor.
So, parents need to first check what causes their baby's bad breath, and then treat it accordingly. If a baby's indigestion leads to bad breath, it is necessary to give them some medication that regulates gastrointestinal digestion and astringency. If the baby's bad breath is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics need to be taken to alleviate the symptoms. Moreover, parents can use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate bad breath caused by damp heat in babies.
