Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The balls of mucosa over the right and left side of your cheek could be a irritational fibroma secondary to the cheek biting by the teeth. Consult a oral physician and get it examined. Nothing to worry, its a benign lesion, it wont harm you, If it is interfering with mastication or any function, then get it surgically removed under local anesthesia.
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 like sinusitis or gastrointestinal disorders. 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.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
