hi...
thanks for the query...
halitosis has many reasons... it can be of dental origin or ENT problems or may be due to any systemic disease also...
you go for complete oral prophylaxis first (scaling and root planing) and then maintain your oral hygiene by yourself by brushing twice daily after meals...
also keep your tongue clean by scrapping of the debris over it... because it also harbors micro organisms and can cause bad breath...
if you have acid reflux, then have antacids for that...
hope it will help you...
take care...

Dentists can suggests you oral check up and if required go for complete mouth scaling( cleaning).

Regarding other reasons,only ENT surgeons can help you better in this regard.
