The process of raising a baby is like nurturing a precious plant, and mothers need to constantly worry about it. Not only should we always ensure the baby's nutrition source and life safety, but also the health aspect cannot be ignored. We should actively understand any abnormal conditions of the baby. So, let's learn about what causes bad breath in a two-year-old baby?
1. Oral problems
When a baby has bad breath, the mother should first consider whether the baby has oral diseases. Mothers can use a flashlight to carefully observe their baby's mouth and check for problems such as gingivitis, tooth decay, ulcers, etc., as these oral diseases can cause bad breath. Even if the baby's mouth is not diseased, if the mother does not pay attention to cleaning the baby's mouth, it can still cause bad breath.
2. Gastrointestinal problems
If the baby's mouth is healthy, then the mother should consider the baby's gastrointestinal problems. If the baby's stomach fire is relatively large, or if there are diseases such as gastric ulcers and chronic enteritis, bad breath can also occur. Mothers can also observe their babies' stool. If it is very dry or has blood streaks, it must be due to bad breath caused by gastrointestinal problems.
3. Dietary issues
In addition to these pathological reasons, neglecting diet can also lead to bad breath in babies. If you feed your baby too greasy and excessive protein intake in their diet, these foods will ferment in the stomach and produce a foul odor, leading to bad breath.
