Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my friend just asked me if I knew anything about the causes of smelly feet. She hasnt been feeling well and both her and her children have been having abdominal pain, vomiting and loose bowels and bloating. do you think that the smelly feet are part of the symptoms and if so, what would be the cause?
Smelly feet is due to increased sweating in foot and damp footwears. Its not related to the other symptoms, which point towards gastroenteritis ( food poisoning).
I would suggest that they take a course of antibiotics in consultation with a local doctor, as the dosage for her and the children will be different. Also give them preprobiotics to replenish good gut bacterias.
Plus they need to take care of what and where they eat to prevent recurrence.
For the feet, just keep them and the footwears powdered and dry.
Hope i have been helpful.
Regards Dr. Ashish Verma
