Definitely see a doctor.  There could be an obstruction in the digestive tract, or something very simple.  It should not be ignored though.  Has he seen a dentist to rule out any oral abcesses?

try listerine (sorry for bad spelling)

or any other type of mouth wash.

also keep note of what he is eating, because some foods just have that bad breath affect.
