There are some causes that lead to bad breath in infants, which may require medical attention.
“Baby & Family” magazine, which specializes in family and children, explained that the emission of a bad odor from an infant’s mouth has many causes, including dry mouth, poor oral care, and tooth decay.

The magazine added that the emission of a foul odor from the infant’s mouth may be a symptom of a serious illness such as a fungal infection.
It also indicates a sore throat and tonsils.
If the child is vomiting and the bad odor emanating from the infant’s mouth is acidic, this indicates that the infant has a gastrointestinal infection or esophageal reflux, which occurs due to the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus.
However, if the odor is accompanied by increased saliva secretions, redness and swelling of the gums and tongue, and fever, along with the presence of pockets in the cheeks, ulcers, and open sites, then this heralds infection with herpes viruses.
Therefore, you must consult a specialist doctor immediately, to determine the exact reason behind the emitting of a bad odor from the infant’s mouth, and undergo timely treatment.
– Methods of prevention
Taking good care of baby teeth, as soon as they emerge, using toothpaste designed for children and a toothbrush with soft bristles is one of the best ways to get rid of bad breath in infants.
