This can be due to tooth decay but this has been excluded.Chronic mouthbreathing is the usual cause in children ,. This is due tio a persistent blocked nose from enlarged adenoids or sinus infection or enlarged tonsils. Try a course of Flagyl syrup 200mg 3 times a day for 5 days to clear any persistent unusual bacterial/yeast infection in her nose or throat.Ask your pharmacist.
