My daughter, who is 13, smells terrible. She has constant bad breath and stinks of sweat despite showering every morning and when she gets in from school. She brushes her teeth twice a day too.
I am wondering if it has anything to do with her epilepsy meds. Her breath has always been a problem and her tongue is always coated.
The sweat smell is obviously to do with puberty. She can smell straight after showering though.
I help her shower and brush her teeth as she has SN and can be a bit slapdash if left to it.
I don't know what to do about it. I have seen people recoil from her because of the smell. She has enough to cope with socially, without this too.
Her diet is very good. She doesn't eat junk food or sweets and she isn't overweight.
