What Causes Bad Breath in a 15-Month-Old Baby?
Disease description:
My cousin’s daughter is only 1 year and 3 months old, yet she has particularly severe halitosis—I’m unsure of the cause. What are the possible causes of halitosis in a 1-year-and-3-month-old infant?

Dr. Zhang Liwen
Halitosis (bad breath) in a 15-month-old infant is commonly caused by indigestion and other related factors. Children who consume excessive high-calorie sweets, high-fat fried foods, or large amounts of carbohydrates are prone to indigestion and food stagnation, which can lead to halitosis. Additionally, poor oral hygiene in children may result in gingivitis and halitosis due to retained food debris.
