If there are no oral cavities problems, start thinking about taking him to get his digestive system checked. There are hundreds of undiagnosed children who suffer from digestive problems like GERD or ulcers who have bad breath especially in the morning. And have his pediatrician check his nose, an undiagnosed sinus infection can also cause really bad breath.

Sounds like your child needs a trip to the Dr. hurry up!
kids get ulcers in their stomach and need medications and sinus infections could lead to anoid infections and chronic ear aches.
