Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bad breath could be because of the deposits over the teeth causing gum infection. Or it can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection or any respiratory tract infection.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions.
if it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash.
if it is tooth infection get the tooth restored.
If it is respiratory tract infection consult a pulmonologost or ENT surgeon.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as you have bad breath dont worry this bad breath can be due to some reasons like improper oral hygiene due to deposition of plaque and calculus subgingival region of gums , dental caries , decayed tooth , drug induced , sinus related , medical condition like diabetes , related to certain food like garlic , onion , fish , meat .
Dont worry I will suggest you to consult Oral surgeon and go for Oral prophylaxis ( scaling and root planning ) and go for scaling every 6 month , Do warm saline rinses , Use waxed interdental floss to clean interdental area of teeth .

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
