How Can Bad Breath And Gastritis Be Treated?

Hi I have suffered gastritis and bad breath for 10 years. Over the the years I tried protons like pantoprozole , omeprozole and lanzoprozole. When I take a tablet it works for an hour than my breath smells worse. I'm on an wheat free diet and it does relief the gastritis a bit but I can't get rid of my bad breath

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain bad breath also known as Halitosis can occur due to a number of causes like poor oral hygiene, oral and dental infections,post nasal drip, sinusitis, acid reflux,respiratory infections, diabetes etc..

However gastritis or stomach upset is a common reason for bad breath but if it is not relieving with the treatment then you should consult an Oral Physician and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations depending upon suspected cause can help in diagnosis..
Treatment of underlying cause will relieve the symptoms..
As of now you should start gargling with a flavoured mouthwash twice a day..
You should chew flavored sugarfree chewing gum..
Do warm saline gargles twice a day..
Limit the intake of high aroma foods like onion and garlic..
Drink plenty of water and maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
