What Causes A Sour Smell And Mucus In The Mouth Of A Child?
My grandson who turned 2 in May has a sour smell in his mouth and mucus. I brush his teeth often but that doesnt help. I though it had something to do with milk, he drinks a ton, but I have experimented with that and nothing helps. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
if there is regurgitation of milk due to reflux there may be sour odor in the mouth.
Normally the reflux disappears by 18 months of age.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
