Health Advice on foot odor
Boil 3 or 4 tea bags in 2 glasses of water for 5 minutes and then pour this into a bucket filled with 1/3rd of hot water. Ask your son to soak his feet in this liquid for at lest 30 minutes before going to bed at night everyday. The tannic acid in tea removes the foot odor.
Always ask him to wear cotton socks and wash them daily. Keep extra pairs of socks and shoes, so that he can wear them alternatively. Discard his socks after every couple of months.
He can dust his feet with powder before wearing socks as it will absorb excess sweat.
After coming from outside, ask him to lather his feet with an antibacterial soap and scrub it thoroughly. He can also soak his feet for 10 minutes in a bucket half full of hot water in which any antibacterial liquid or vinegar or common salt has been added. Now, wipe his feet with a soft cotton cloth and dry it with a hair dryer. Dust it with talcum powder and rest it for sometime. This procedure can be repeated during the day or whenever the foot odor increases.
Wearing comfortable and open foot wear is advisable.
