Try this: Halitosis is usually caused by 3 things: 1) poor oral hygiene leading to gingivitis or periodontitis or decay 2) stomach issues 3) sinus problems. Visit your dentist to have teeth and gums checked and follow their directions. If it's not your mouth, have your doctor check your stomach for acid reflux and your sinuses for chronic infection.

See your dentist: Just trying to use mouth washes and breath mints may temporarily help, but i would see your dentist to get a definitive way of helping you. You may require additional dental cleanings or need to be educated in proper hygiene. Always brush your tongue and check out the foods, drinks, supplements and meds that you are taking. Are you a mouth breather?
