Body odour on warm days & PE days

I am not sure if this is the right place for this but I hope I can get help and suggestions here.

My 5 years & 11months old daughter came back from school today smelling of sweat a little. I know it is summer time and it is hot but I Dont like it. Note, she showers everyday and this is the 1st she smelling like that.

Is she to young for roll on deodorant? If yes, what do I do to control this smell?

I normally buy her 9 year old brother
Bionsen Deodorant Aluminium Free Roll On to use on sports days when I know he's going to sweat a lot. But isn't a 5 year old soon to be 6 years too young for roll on?

Get her deodorant - it’s not unknown.

It’s quite early so do let your GP know, and ditto if she shows other signs of early puberty. This doesn’t mean she will go into early puberty BTW but they will want to know to keep an eye.

We’ve had to move to proper roll on, same age.

Sorry, totally picked up the wrong age. I’d watch and wait. Might be a one off.

This sounds like my 6 year old who was a bit whiffy running around in warm weather and I bought her roll on deodorant. Scrubbingtons which is child friendly .
