See the doctor: This has to be treated, your baby may have a gastrointestinal infection or a food intolerance. See the pediatrician.

Question 2

breath smell bad after doing poo twice or more in a day!
i really don't know what's the logic behind it.
but, smell of breath , body odor intensifies?

Accepted Answer

Try this logic...: There's a very good chance that even a little stool leakage is the problem. Any change in diet, alteration in gut flora, or purgative agents may change your stool pattern &amp; odor. Please keep in mind that not everything bought in a health food store, or "natural" products (however well intentioned in taking), may agree with you or be entirely safe.  See your doctor instead for evaluation &amp; advice.

Question 3

Could be gums: Periodontal disease can cause halitosis. A host of other medical problems can, too. Have his teeth and gums examined by a dentist, and if the problem persists after his dental care is complete, see a physician.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

DDS\MD consults: There are many causes of bad breath.  It could be dental or medical (or both) in origin.  When was the last time you had check-ups at your dentist and physician?  I think both are in order to determine the cause of your problem.  It could be cavities, gum problems, GI problems, or a host of other things.

Question 5

my 7 month old breath smells lile his poop. is that normal ? he poops 2-5 times a day eats normal and is up to date with everything.

Accepted Answer

Bad breath: A baby's breath should never smell bad unless there is an infection. Does he have a clogged nose? Do you have an older child, maybe 3 or 4 year old? These youngsters are known to stick objects in their body openings. I suspect something like that may be happening to his nose. Have see his pediatrician.

Question 6

my 7 momth old has breath smelling like poop has been like that for almost 2 weeks she also is currently teething and dealing with the flu is it. norm?

Accepted Answer

See Your Doctor Now: Malodorous breath in an infant is unusual and you have indicated the presence of “flu”.  More information is needed e.g. duration/description of other symptoms present, vomiting, appetite/stool abnormalities, past medical/family history, and more. Physical exam is crucial to provide more diagnostic clues. See your doctor now for further evaluation and correct diagnosis/treatment.

Even if ER rules out cardiac event, follow up with cardiologist with stress test  etc

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Bad breath: Chronic bad breath isolated between teeth indicates a periodontal (gum) infection, a tooth infection, or sub-gingival decay.
See your dentist or a periodontist for a thorough exam and dental cleaning.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Could be: Although I could not get an exact description of the type of smell, when I looked this up I found that Lansoprazole can indeed cause bad breath and an unpleasant taste in the mouth.  It's not dangerous, but annoying.
