See Dentist: Could be cavities, gum disease, food impaction, infected tonsils/adenoids, GERD, from Meds or dietary supplements, etc. Please see your Dentist for differential diagnosis and appropriate treatment. You'll be glad you did.

Halitosis bad breath: In the majority of cases, the cause of bad breath or halitosis, is the product of bacteria in the mouth and gum disease. The proper diagnosis is the key to a successful treatment. See your dentist for Halimeter test, diagnosis and bad breath treatment that depends on its cause. Good luck.

Halitosis: Bad breath can be caused by many different factors, including sinus infections, periodontal problems, smoking, cavities, acid reflux, and your diet. Address all of these possibilities with your dentist and physician, and I'm confident that your problem will at least be minimized, and hopefully eradicated.

Easy Rx first: Use dental floss heavily. Run the floss across your tongue after you're done -- nasty stuff can accumulate there. If you have a tonsillolith, get it out using a water pick, partly-unbent paper-clip or whatever you find works. If none of this helps, get seen. You may have a dental problem or something in your sinus.
