Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain bad breath can occur due to a number of causes and both oral and dental infections as well as acid reflux is a cause for it..
Drinking liquor can also be a cause..
Other causes can be sinus infection, tonsil stones, poor oral hygiene etc..
I would suggest you to gargle with a flavored mouthwash..
Chew sugarfree chewing gum that is also flavored with menthol or mint flavour..
Do warm saline gargles..
Drink plenty of water..
Limit intake of heavy aroma foods like Onion and garlic..
Maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards,
Honey Nandwani Arora.
