May be he is a mouth breather. That is very common in children. Also examine for any dacayed tooth. Give sufficient amount of water. If he still puts his thumb in mouth then try to help him to get rid of this habit.

He must be having mouth breathing which is common in young children. Child should also drink sufficient water. Also if he has consistent cold this may happen. Brushing and cleaning soft tissues like tongue, palate, oral mucosa is equally important.

Next Steps

Visit dentist for clinical examination as decay and calculus aggravate bad breath.
