Hello dear,
Thank you for your question.
Halitosis or bad breath is caused from a wide range of conditions of the oral space, throat or even the stomach. The first step can be to consult a dentist to evaluate the health of your teeth and gums. The next step I would suggest is to consult an ENT specialist (Ear,Nose,Throat). He/she will check your tonsils, which can also cause bad breath. The inflammation of the oesophagus or even the stomach should be considered by a gastroenterologist.
I hope this helped.
Best wishes,
Dr. Alma
