How To Cure Bad Breath?

I am suffering from bad breathe. I have done lots of reading on it and I think for me its the back of my throat down to my throat that the source is. I brush often, floss, gargle with non alchol mouth wash, use Dr. Thera Breath toothpaste and oral rinse, use sugar free gums and the problem still exists. I need a prescription medication. I may not be able to get it online but just the name of something that may work and why it may work.
