What Are The Signs Of Having Halitosis?

Do I have Halitosis? I feel my epiglottis collecting food sediment and growing them snowballing until big (3mm) and then releasing bits of light beige matter that I can put on my tongue or swallow and smell like bad breath. How can I empty my epiglottis?

Actually halitosis does not occur because of infection of epiglottis , it occurs because of gum infection.
The type of white spots you are mentioning, it can be because of throat infection.
Better you visit an E.N.T. specialist to get it treated.
Hope it will help you.
