Does Body Odor In 7 Year Old Mean Early Puberty?
My 7 year old had body odor under her arms. It's not everyday, I am thinking it may actually be from eating onions in my cooking. Is this possible, should she see her doctor? I have also read online about early puberty. She does not have any other symptoms of early puberty.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Only body odor does not indicate early puberty in absence of other secondary sex charecters as well as onset of menarche.
Do not worry, Observe for pubic and axillary hair and breast development.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
