Combatting Bad Breath

Saturday December 30, 2006
My son had the sweetest, buttery breath when he was breastfeeding. Some time around two years of age, however, his nose would become stuffy from allergies and he could knock me over with the bad breath that resulted. At the time, I didn't realize how common this is. But it's true-- even toddlers can have bad breath. Luckily for everyone involved, it's usually a very easy problem to treat.

It seems strange that children get bad breath too – can’t all be due to lack of flossing!

I’ve had bad breath for years, but I have noticed that it gets much worse when I’ve got a cold. Must be something to do with the mucus or infected tonsils…
