Hi.. Check your blood sugar levels.. If you are a diabetic, your diabetes may not be under control, so recheck it.. Get a dental check up done to see if there is any dental problems like dental caries or abscess.. Else, twice a day brushing and flossing is enough to prevent  bad breath...

Please go for a complete oral check up. Thorough scaling and use of a good mouth wash must resolve your problem. take care!
