See a doctor: Or possibly an ENT specialist. You may have chronic tonsillar infection, gum infection, or other problems causing halitosis. This needs an exam for evaluation. Good luck.

Tonsil stones: The stones may dislodge by themselves, or by rinsing/gargling with salt water. However, stones are common with people who have chronic tonsillitis, so you should check with an ENT specialist.
