I have taken care of the disabled before and you can get small bath towels or the blue liners for bed wetting accidents and use clips to make bibs. And as for his breath you are just going to have to clean his mouth with peroxide and toothpaste followed by a good tasting mouth rinse, if he can not voluntarily help with mouth care get the green foam mouth kits and do the care 3 times a day.

Bad breath
Cause:
In speaking of constipation and the need for three bowel movements a day: The wiser way is to work on the cause by unplugging and cleaning out the sewer line so there will be no more backing up of sewage. Within the human body, we find a sewage line that is backed up (constipation) and the horrible odor of halitosis comes out the front door (the mouth) as it is opened. If someone said, "Your breath is horrible," the average person works on the effect, and in order to cover up the bad breath, pops in a mint or runs for the mouth wash. If someone said--"Whew-you need a bath, the smell from your body is awful," you work on the effect again and use underarm deodorant, perfumes, colognes, etc., and never think of cleaning up the cause, and thus having a permanently sweet smelling body and breath.
Herbal Aids:
1. Bad Breath, Indigestion, or Poor Digestion: Carry cloves in pocket and chew on them, but go into the cause to get rid of the bad breath.
2. Myrrh:Take a little myrrh internally.
3. See formula for bad breath using myrrh and golden seal.
4. Cleansing the Bowel: When a person suffers from halitosis or bad breath, this is simply nature's way of saying, "You have a toxic bowel condition.”
5. Parsley: The whole herb is effective against bad breath and people who take garlic often take Parsley to avoid offending.
6. Spearmint: It would serve as a gargle for bad breath and sore gums and mouth.
7. Cloves: These are sometimes chewed to temporarily treat bad breath, although their carminative and digestive properties may help to get to the cause.

I would think from your description that he also has problems swallowing if he can't control his saliva. I wouldn't use liquids to clean his mouth, as he may tend to aspirate. If his mouth isn't defensive (reaction to having foreign objects) scrape his tongue with a small spoon to clean his tongue, then use a toothette (small sponge impregnated with toothpaste on a stick-available at your pharmacy, ) to scrub his teeth. You may have to use saline on a gauze square to get the accumulated, hardened mucus off his palate. This should help with the bad breath.

Why not take some large ,absorbent bath towels,cut a circle in the middle and slip it over his head.You could pin the bottom to his shirt to keep it secure.For his breath,has he seen a dentist?Try different mouthwashes until you find one that works.I wish you luck,and bless you and your son.
