Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCAREMAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that breath smelling burnt plastic from breath can be due to poor oral hygiene while can also be due to sinus infection, other decayed teeth and gum infection..

It does not seems to be anything serious, so do not worry about it..
You can make him gargle with flavoured antiseptic mouthwash suitable for kids..
Make him do warm saline solution..
You should make him chew sugarfree flavoured chewing gums.
Maintain a good oral hygiene and also drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
