Hi,

Certain foods, health conditions and habits are among the causes of bad breath. In many cases, you can improve bad breath with proper dental hygiene.

If simple self-care techniques don't solve the problem, you may have to see your dentist or doctor to be sure a more serious condition isn't causing your bad breath.

Till then, try saline nasal drops and also proton pump inhibitors (such as Omeprazole). Any more doubts you are welcome.

Hi,

Few more information is required to understand what exactly your problem is.
1. Do you have any cold or nasal block or discharge from the nose?
2. Any symptoms of acid reflux (like burping frequently, heart burn, excessive salivation)?
