Bad breath from the nose and throat

I had a root canal done about 4 months ago and since then I've been having a terrible bad breath both from my nose and from my mouth.   All the dentists (3) told me the root canal was not perfectly done but there is no infection there right now. I have a temporary filling and it does not have a crown yet. Even though the tooth does not feel right,  I brush and flosss 4-5 times in a day. I even had gum reduction treatment and nothing happened. I don't have mucus coming out of my throat, but whenever I cough or sneeze it smell so bad.Sometimes I get mild sore throat and mild ear pain, but it always go away on it's own. Whenever it is close to my monthly period the smell get worse and people at my job don't even get closer to where I sit. Please I need Help.

Its probably candida stop sugar foods and drinks anything with sugar some chips and veggies and most fruits have it so avoid these and all red meats, grains pasta bread and all dairy milk cheese

And try eating chicken in soup grilled boiled baked  and raw veggies like celery cucumber Peace steamed or any veggies with no sugar  cooked with a little butter

And drink lots of water to flush all that bacteria out you body and before you do any of this  

Morning on empty stomach
Blend 10 centimeters of Aloe plant  and 1  whole lemon and 1 tea spoon honey with 16 oz water in a blender drain drink juice and drink lots of water then after a month reduce to  half lemon instead  of a whole one and repeat same step until you feel that bad taste is gone

Also take Probiotics I get them from renew life I get the 50 billion hope this works for you

hi,
I got my sinus infection from an infected top molar that was pulled without antibiotics given prior.  You may have a sinus infection from the root canal tooth.  It can be dangerous, I would suggest going to an ENT(otolaryngologist) and have him order a cat scan.  A coronal cat scan is the one that apparantly more accurate the the ct scans that alot of ENT's have in their offices.  If they see infection, try to cure it with antibiotics, and don't klet them talk you into sinus surgery unless the long term antibiotics don't cure you.  I jumped into the sinus surgery last June and now after my second sinus surgery I have a serious infection and I'm on IV antibiotics and have horrible ear pain.  Please be more careful than I was, and do all the research if they recommend surgery.
