Can post nasal drip cause bad breath through the nose?

Yes: That means your sinuses are congested and may be inflamed and that is one of the causes for bad breath. See an ENT doctor for help.

Yes: many things cause bad breath. Tonsillar stones, acid reflux, gum disease. Post nasal drip generally indicates a sinus infection.
