Bad Breath

Asked for Male, 14 years

Hi. My son is 9 years old. He has really bad breath issues. there is no oral health problem it seems like smell comes from the stomach. approached many doctors..they say he is fine. and didn't recommend any test.problem is embarrassing for him in school and friends. I gave him light food for a day or two and smell decreased. Please advise me what can be the issue? I'm really worried. Is it a food allergy or what?

Dear Patient,

Just do a stool test for H Pylori Antigen. If there is a positive result it will show that there are bacteria in his stomach causing these symptoms. Once that's treated he will be relieved of bad odor from mouth. Avoid outside food and impure water.
