What Is The Dosage Of Medication For Bad Breath?

Hi Dr. Santhosh...

My name is Nasser, its about my 5 years old girl baby who sometimes show-up with bad breath and then I could see her tong white colored. Pharmacist said just give B-complex to cure this; gave me Becosules syrup. Kindly tell me is this medicin safe in general for a 5-years old and then I am not sure of the quantity. Hopefully 5ml is OK...?

Much obliged to you for your answer.

Good day...

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Five year old babies eat candies as well as other snacks in between meals and usually do not wash the mouth.
They sometimes neglect brushing teeth also and hence they develop bad breath.
Attend to their oral hygiene carefully and make them gargle with listerene mouth gargling solution 2 times daily and if possible avoid candies and snacks frequently.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
