Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My son has had bad breath from his mouth for the past years. Even after brushing twice a day and rinsing his mouth after eating, his symptoms do not seem to improve. Because of this, he loses confidence while talking to others. He does not feel comfortable visiting a doctor for this. Please suggest some treatment modalities to help improve his bad breath.
Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and can understand your concern.
I suggest you convince him to visit a dentist to get checked up. He may have calculus and plaque along with some decayed teeth, which may be causing bad breath. I suggest he use warm salt water rinses twice daily or a Betadine rinse till then.
I hope this has helped you.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
Thank you.
