5 Year Old Body Odor. Our daughter shows no signs of early puberty other than an odor we happened upon. He recommended regular deoderant. Body odor is a normal phenomenon for adults. My now 8 yr old has had this problem since he was about 5 yrs too.
The technical term for that is precocious puberty. Poor hygiene is one of the most common causes of body odor in children. My advice would be to try thoroughly washing her clothes in hot water first to eliminate any residual smell then using Anhydrol forte. Does your daughter take any medications. So far thats made a difference. These are very common and the armpits.
Foods that can cause body odor include asparagus cabbage onions and garlic.
When does a child generally begin to show body odor. Ended up making my own deodorant for her. While perspiration and bacteria plus the hormonal changes of puberty are the primary cause of body odor there are a few other contributors that can add to the situation and not in a good way. These are very common and the armpits. I was so saddened and confused why she had it at young age. Our daughter shows no signs of early puberty other than an odor we happened upon.
