Assuming you mean foul breath odor, or odor of sputum (phlegm) you cough up, and lasting this long, you may have a rather serious infection, like bronchiectasis, lung abscess, necrotizing pneumonia, tuberculosis and more. See a doctor soon: expect an Xray and perhaps CT scan of your chest. Also start taking your temperature regularly to see if you have fever. Good luck.
