Children's axillary odor can be relieved with medications such as zinc oxide nystatin powder and urotropine solution, which can help reduce the odor caused by axillary odor when applied to the affected area. Daily underarm cleaning and frequent clothing changes can also help reduce body odor. Children's axillary odor can also be treated surgically, primarily through a Z-shaped incision under the armpit to destroy the sweat glands and hair follicles, thereby improving the condition. Additionally, axillary odor can have significant psychological effects on children, so parents should provide psychological support and help the child cope with the condition positively.
