What Causes Bad Breath In Children?

My son (four) wakes up with really bad fish breath. I mean, REALLY bad. He does have a stuffy nose right now, but his breath typically smells like this; it s just worse when he has a cold. Is it from dry mouth? His nose? Is there anything we should be worried about?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Few reasons which could cause this -
1. Bad oral hygiene winch gets better with thrice a day brushing and mouth washes.
2. Foreign body in the nose which might have been missed out in the past
3. Bad lung infection called - suppurative lung disease.
I suggest you consult your pediatrician with the above information. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
