A friend once told me her kids breathe wud smell lime that when they had tonsillitis

The smell of iron is usually blood

Sounds like they are cutting a new tooth. That smell is from tiny bits of blood from teeth moving up through the gums. Sea salt + warm water swish can help reduce bacteria and odor, and relieve discomfort. That’s the only time we noticed funky iron smelling breath was as my son’s teeth broke through.

Toxins/heavy metals…only a naturopath can help detox that. Doctors are taught these things

Dental or gastrointestinal issues- take you child to the doctor
