A member asked:

My 3 months son has a bad breath, what could be the cause??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bad breath: Well, it's obviously not from teeth problems. See yourPediatrician to screen for infected tonsils/adenoids/sinuses, evaluate for gastric regurgitation, and to evaluate for systemic problems.
