Could be his tonsils, his sinuses, a bad tooth, an absess in his mouth... sorry, but you need to take him to the dentist at least and possibly an ear nose and throat specialist.
I am having the same problem with my son. He doesnt have any cavitites or anything dental wrong. I may look into the ENT never knew tonsils or sinuses could cause bad breathe....Thanks girls. Although he has gone to an ENT in the past for tubes and they did look at his tonsils they never said anything should I still try the ENT you think?
Call the doctor and see what they have to say. There are many reasons for it.
Sorry, but like the others have said, you need to take him in to see the dentist at the very least.
I agree with the others. You need to have your child medically checked out. It's no different then if gook was seeping out of his nose or eyes. It just happens to be a smell. Pony up the money and get the kid to a doctor/dentist.
Google "bad breath in children" for ideas on what to try at home, and what to discuss with your son's doctor. Keep in mind that the back 1/3 of the tongue is where the most 'stinky' stuff will be--and that this is also the hardest part to brush because doing so often triggers the gag reflex.
DS (7 next month) struggles with bad breath caused by slightly enlarged tonsils (the result of mild allergies).
Make an appointment. It probably is somethign medical. THe most common reasons why this happens is.
1. Reflux.
2. Food allergies.
3. Gallbladder issues.
What does his breath smell like? You can be honest. Mine smelled like POOP, like a SEWER. My husband would pick in me for it....turned out it was an allergy to milk. I took milk products out of my diet and now we are golden :)
