sir,
what about this bad breath? is it really because of intestinal problem? can it be medicated without having a diagnose report? especially for taking ofloxacin?

Hi,
Thanks for providing more information.
GERD or Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease can be a cause of bad breath.
I would advise that you should add Domperidone 30mg along with Omeprazole. This will help in controlling your symptoms.
You should also take care of your oral hygiene. Rinses with mouth wash will also help.
Your doctor must have prescribed Ofloxacin to cure intestinal infection. A stool examination and an Endoscopy will help in planning further medical management.
I hope this answers your query.
If you have any further doubts, please mention.
Thanks.
