Hello, I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ totally get your point. A child with a bad breath that keeps happening is definitely alarming, especially if it has been going on for more than 6 months.

YOUR CONCERN

Age: 7 years Problem: Persistent bad breath (halitosis) Duration: >6 months Other symptoms: Toothach Oral hygiene: Brushes once daily

PROBABLE CAUSE of Bad Breath in Children

1. Poor Oral Hygiene One may not be able to clean the teeth thoroughly by brushing only once a day. Food remnants in the mouth become the source of the bad odor.

2. Dental Issues Decay (cavities) of the teeth, an infection of the gums or abscesses may be the factors that cause the most unbearable odors.

3. Tonsil / Throat Problems Enlarged tonsils or tonsil stones (mostly in children) may be the areas where bacteria get trapped.

4. Dry Mouth A lack of saliva flow can cause the mouth’s natural cleaning to be less efficient.

5. Digestive Issues Bad breath is also a side effect of constipation or indigestion.

6. Diet Eating sugary snacks, drinking milk, or frequent snacking can provide a good environment for bacteria that cause bad breath.

IMMEDIATE STEPS AT HOME

1. Oral Hygiene Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled children’s toothbrush

Use fluoride toothpaste Clean tongue gently (tongue scraper or soft brush) Floss once a day (if teeth are close together)

2. Mouth Rinse Simple saltwater rinse (½ tsp salt in 1 cup warm water) once daily If necessary, a child-safe herbal mouthwash may be used.

3. Diet

Avoid sugary snacks and candies Rinse with water or encourage drinking water to rid the mouth of dry areas

Introduce fruits and vegetables that are crunchy (apple, carrot) — they do natural cleaning

4. Oil Pulling (Optional, Gentle) About 1 teaspoon of sesame oil or coconut oil is swished for 1-2 minutes Spit it out and rinse your mouth Only for older children who are capable of following instructions

Medical Steps

1. Dentist Consultation A dentist needs to see if there are cavities, abscesses, or gum disease If there are cavities or infections, the dentist will fill the cavities or treat the infections

2. ENT Check-Up Determining the cause of tonsil stones, long-lasting throat infection, or sinus issues

3. General Health Check Occasionally, constipation, acid reflux, or other digestive problems can cause bad breath

Bad breath is seldom a sign of a serious health problem, but a persistent breath with a toothache should be treated

Early dental care is the best way to prevent bigger problems from developing

It’s important to keep up good oral hygiene routines throughout the day and not give in to lapses in care — this is how you will see results over time

With proper dental treatment and regular oral care, your child’s bad breath will go away within a few weeks, and the risk of future dental problems will be minimized.

Bad mouth smell in children usually happens due to tooth infection, dirt and bacteria on the tongue, and weak digestion causing ama formation. Since your child also has toothache, the smell is most likely coming from a decayed or infected tooth. Until that tooth is treated, the smell will keep coming back. So consulting dentist is necessary along with medicines.

you can give Triphala churna 1/4 th teaspoon with warm water at night after food.

Balachaturbhadra churna 1/4 th teaspoon once daily in the morning with honey. Khadiradi vati 1/2-0-1/2 tab twice daily

For mouth cleansing, prepare Triphala decoction by boiling 1/2 tsp teaspoon Triphala powder in 1 cup water, cool it and make the child rinse the mouth once daily in the morning. Do not swallow. This reduces infection and smell.

If tooth pain is present, you may give Dashamoola arishta 5 ml with equal water, once daily after food

Brushing teeth must be done twice daily with a soft brush, and the tongue should be cleaned using tongue scraper every morning. Avoid sweets, chocolates and biscuits

Hello dear, I understand your worry — persistent bad mouth smell in a 7-year-old child for more than 6 months, especially with toothache, is very distressing for parents. Please don’t panic. This is common and treatable when we address the cause properly.

In children, long-term bad breath usually comes from dental issues, tongue coating, mild infection, poor oral hygiene, or digestive imbalance. The good news is: with simple daily care and gentle remedies, it can improve well.

🔎 Important Checks Please ensure these are done: 1. Dental check-up – toothache strongly suggests cavity, infection, or food stuck between teeth 2. Check for tongue coating (white/yellow layer) 3. Ask if the child has mouth breathing, frequent cold, or throat infection

⚠️ If there is pus, swelling, fever, or severe pain → see a dentist urgently.

🌿 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 14 days (Digestion + mouth freshness + infection control) 1. Avipattikar Churna – 👉 ¼ tsp at bedtime with warm water 2. Guduchi (Giloy) syrup – 👉 5 ml once daily after breakfast 3. Triphala water (very mild) – 👉 ½ tsp Triphala powder soaked overnight in 1 cup water, give 2–3 tsp in morning, then discard

🌿 External & Oral Care (MOST IMPORTANT) Daily Routine 1. Brushing twice daily (must!) Morning AND night Use soft brush 2. Tongue cleaning Very gently clean tongue once daily (This alone improves bad smell a lot) 3. Triphala mouth rinse Boil ½ tsp Triphala in 1 cup water, cool, strain Make child rinse mouth once daily (do not swallow) 4. Salt + turmeric warm water gargle Once daily at night (only if child can gargle safely)

🥗 Diet & Habits (Very Important) ❌ Avoid 1. Chocolates, sweets, toffees 2. Cold drinks, packaged juices 3. Junk food 4. Skipping meals ✅ Include 1. Warm home-cooked food 2. Fruits like apple, guava 3. Plenty of water 4. Carrot or cucumber chewing (natural teeth cleaner)

🧘🏻‍♂️ Simple Daily Habits Encourage nose breathing, not mouth breathing Ensure regular bowel movement Make brushing fun (songs, timer, reward chart)

* Mouth smell reduces in 7–10 days * Tooth pain should reduce after dental care * Long-term freshness with regular tongue cleaning & twice brushing

✨ Please remember: Bad breath in children is usually not serious, but it needs routine correction. You are a caring parent — your child will be fine.

If you want, you can tell me:

Does he have cavities?

Does he breathe through mouth while sleeping?

I’ll guide you further step by step 🙏

Warm regards, Dr.Sumi MS(Ayu)
