Hello dear,welcome to health care magic forum.
I am dr aslam here to help you.
Bad breathing along with fever suggest some infection going on in the oral cavity like pharyngitis or gingivitis. After proper diagnosis, this can be managed with antibiotics and antipyretic for a few days. Kindly see your pediatrician without any delay for correct diagnosis and treatment. Hope you will find this answer useful. Thank you.
