How to get rid of son's body odor? |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: My son puts off and onion type smell nd he does not eat or like onions. Is there anything he can take to counteract the smell? Dear Michelle: Body odor is the result of bacteria that is present in the sweat. These bacteria breakdown amino acids giving a characteristic vinegar/onion smell. Body odor can be easily treated with proper hygiene, regular baths and the use of antiperspirants. Fresh clothes should be worn everyday. Avoiding fatty foods and spicy meals may also help in some cases. |
