Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Recurring Apthous Ulcers and can be due to a number of causes like deficiencies of Iron and Vitamin B12, stress, tongue bite, acid reflux etc..
I would suggest you to take multivitamins daily for a month..
Do warm saline gargles..
Avoid tongue bite..
Gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..

In case of no relief consult an Oral Physician and he can investigate you for the exact cause of the problem and treatment of the cause can help..

For bad breath you can maintain a good Oral hygiene, avoid high aroma foods like Garlic and onion, chew flavored sugar free chewing gum, gargle with a flavored mouthwash..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
