Bad breath after drinking milk

Milk is very nutritious. It can promote bone development and provide the body with sufficient calcium. Many parents will order some milk for their children to drink every day when they are young. But some children don’t like to drink milk, some don’t like the taste of milk, and some think they will have bad breath after drinking milk and are embarrassed to talk to their classmates. Let's find out why drinking milk causes bad breath~

1. Why do babies have bad breath when they only drink milk?

1. Oral diseases

If your baby has problems with caries, periodontitis or misaligned teeth, food debris will be retained in the caries, periodontal pockets or between the teeth, and will emit some unpleasant odor after decay. If the baby has bad breath due to this reason, the mother may wish to wrap gauze around her finger and clean the baby's teeth, or let the baby rinse his mouth with warm water after each meal, which can also achieve the effect of removing bad breath. At the same time, good oral hygiene can effectively prevent oral diseases.

2. Nasal problems

The nasopharynx of the human body is connected, and nosebleed is a very common problem in children. The blood remaining in the nasal cavity after bleeding will become a breeding ground for bacteria, thus emitting some odor. Some babies will allow some food to enter their nasal cavity when they eat, and these foods will also emit unpleasant odors after rotting inside. It is recommended to pay attention to supplementing your baby with vitamin C on a regular basis, as it can enhance the toughness of the nasal mucosal blood vessels, thereby reducing the chance of nosebleeds. At the same time, parents should always pay attention to whether the baby has stuffed anything in the nostrils. If they find that one side of the child's nose is blocked, it may be that something is stuck.

3. Constipation

Some babies may also suffer from constipation. Since the corrupt substances in the intestines cannot be cleared out, foul air rises and bad breath occurs. If bad breath is caused by constipation, you should give your baby more water, which can effectively prevent your baby from having dry stools. At the same time, the baby's intake of high-protein food should be controlled. Excessive consumption will lead to difficulty in defecation and a sour taste in the mouth.

2. What to eat for babies with bad breath

1. Milk

Drinking milk works wonders for eliminating garlic breath, and children can drink a glass of it after eating garlic.

2. Celery

This vegetable is very effective in eliminating bad breath, especially the smell of smoke. If celery is not available, you can use mint instead. The longer you chew it, the better. In addition, the above plants can not only relieve bad breath problems, but also help digestion.

3. Kumquat

Chewing five to six fresh kumquats is very effective for symptoms such as chest tightness and indigestion caused by bad breath, and it can also relieve qi and strengthen the spleen.

4. Yogurt

The main cause of bad breath is hydrogen sulfide. Drinking yogurt every day for a long time is very effective in eliminating this substance. It is important to note that natural yogurt helps eliminate bad breath, while sugary yogurt does not.

5. Lemon

It is sour in nature and bitter in taste, and can help stimulate appetite, quench thirst, and relieve heat. Adding a little mint and fresh lemon juice to boiling water can help get rid of bad breath.
