<s>[INST] I have a 3 year old boy who has barely eaten for the past 5 days. His throat is sore, tongue is white, he is drooling quite a lot and his speech is affected and has bad breath - he is drinking some fluids but is hardly eating any food at all. He does not have a fever. [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The sore throat and bad breath could be because of the bacterial infection. The bad breath could be because of the gum infection or any pus discharge from the tooth or gum infection. During any infection the salivary secretion increases. Consult an oral physician and get yourself examined and take a course of antibiotics like combination of penicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic), do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care </s>
