Bad breath

My 3yr old ds has had bad breath lately and I'm not sure what to do, he brushes his teeth twice a day and eats all his fruit and vegetables and only on occasion has juice. I've changed his toothbrush and toothpaste. I'm not sure what else I can do

Has he seen a doctor? I get bad breath when I have an infection in my throat. I'd see a GP if no answers then a dentist.

Has his tonsils and adnoids been checked? They could be inflamed.

One of my boys gets bad breath when he has a cold or a bit stuffy. We use a saline solution like Fess ness to help clean out the nasal cavity and it seems to help.

Take him to the doctor and dentist. He might be mouth breathing or have some sort of infection.

Could be something to do with gut health. Does he eat yoghurt?
