Whats The Cause For Bad Morning Breath?
When I wake up in the morning I always have bad morning breath, but not when I take Nyquil the night before. Which ingredient in Nyquil is responsible for stopping bad breath, and are there any products on the market that use the ingredient for the specific purpose of stopping bad breath?

Hi,
I have gone through your query & got it.
* There are multiple causes for morning bad breath, but the fact, that Niquil gives you relief indicates it to be allergic sinus,allergens being subjected in night time only.
Niquil is a combination of medicines to control fever/cough/allergic cold.
Allergens give symptoms like cold, produces little rise in temperature due to sinus inflammation/ irritation of throat.As a result, the oral cavity gets dried, & thus produces bad breath.Antiallergic ( doxillamin succinate ) controls the basic cause & prevents drying of oral cavity.
* To control /avoid allergy is the basic way to avoid the condition.
Avoiding bed dust/smoking/having good oral hygiene/ drinking sufficient waterhelp.
Getting allergy tests done & desensitization treatment is a cure to the problem
Thanks
