Your letter does, however, offer two clues. Careful studies have shown that constipation is not a cause of halitosis but irritation of the intestinal tract may be a cause. If by keeping your son's bowels open you mean that you frequently give him laxatives, this may be a contributing factor.

If you have made your son so self-conscious about his condition that he is nervously tense, this, too, can be a factor. Quit worrying him about it and get him to drink eight to 10 full glasses of water daily in addition to what he gets at mealtime. This alone has cleared up many a case of halitosis.

What can be done about it? A There is still some inflammation of your pleura.

If within six or eight weeks after the operation the inflammation subsides, the fluid will be absorbed without any further treatment.
