Hello,

Bad breath can arise due to multiple causes like tooth caries or gum diseases etc.

I would like to know a few related details:
- Do you have any associated sore throat, throat pain or any respiratory infection?

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for writing back,

Sorry for the inadvertent delay in replying,

Yes, stomach acidity can also cause bad breath especially if you have gastric reflux symptoms.

I would suggest you to do the following:
- Get a dental check up done followed by a dental cleaning.
- Do mouth gargles with Listerine solution at least 2 times daily, and after you mail meals.
- Avoid too much of onions and garlic in your diet.
- Have timely meals, do not skip your breakfast.
- Drink plenty of fluids as even dry mouth can cause bad breath
- You can add a pinch of baking soda or few drops of lemon juice while brushing your teeth. You can also use charcoal powder to brush your teeth twice a week.

Since you do not have any of the associated diseases or conditions, it is nothing to worry. It should resolve on its own.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close the query and give a positive feedback,

Mouth fresheners do help

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back,

I'm glad I could help you. Yes certainly you can use mouth fresheners like chewing gums as it will help to increase your saliva production. Saliva is a potent antiseptic and should help in keeping your mouth fresh and clean.
