See a denist: There are 3 infectious etiologies for halitosis. First, bacteria growing in the deep cripts of the tongue. A tongue scraper may help this after brushing. Second, Hpylori in the stomach causing acid overproduction. Thirdly a gum, tooth or other chronic oral infection. Its really best to see a good dentist and have them evaluate you.

Infection: Eliminate the infection. Review your condition with your Dentist. If your halitosis is caused by the infection it will disappear as you and your Dentist eliminate your infection.
