Bad breath !!

My five year old DS has really bad breath. He had tonsilitis twice last year and it seems to have started since then. He speaks very nasally (sorry not sure how to spell that !!)and bunged up. I took him to the doctors a few months ago because I was worried as his tonsils seem huge to me but the doctor had a look and said that children's tonsils are always huge and that it is normal. Could it be an infection causing the smell. Does anyone have any tips how to get rid of it. I am really worried that children at school will start commenting on it soon.

Adanoid(sp) problems usually causes bad breath and that would go hand in hand with tonsils and speaking through the nose.

Or it could be sinus, try steaming and see if it clears any. Good luck.
