Child Has Body Odor Problem. Medical Problem?

My 10 year daugther has a BO problem, even when she wears deodorant she still smells like a rotten onion and kids are starting to make fun of her, it s been happening since she was little, she baths everynight mostly soon as she gets home from school b/c the smell is so strong. Could there be a medical problem or can it be treated? Thanks

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Do not panic.
Try out a few things.
Give her lots of fluids.
Give her lots of citrus fruits and drinks.This produces a sweet body odour.
Use bath salts during bathing.
Keep her hands,feet,armpits clean.
If she perspires a lot give her a anti perspirant lotion thrice weekly.
Hope this answers your query.
If you have any other queries kindly direct them to me.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
