Other symptoms of tonsillitis include a sore throat and coughing. Your toddler’s bad breath will disappear when the infection clears up. It’s also possible that the smelly breath is because your little one has a blockage in his nose It is possible medical conditions like GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) – When stomach acids regurgitate into the throat, it can cause an acidic scent and Allergy or cold – Extra mucus translates to extra opportunities for bacteria to grow, making baby’s breath smell bad.If your baby has persistent bad breath, take him for a check-up at the paediatric dental specialist.
