Hi. This is called foetor in medical language. The cause has to be found out for the correct mode of treatment. As per your history I do suspect a problem either with your nose and/ or sinuses. I would advise you to go for a Check-up by an ENT surgeon who would carefully examine you to get the cause and may advise for x-rays / CT scan of PNS- paranasal sinuses. You may also need a X-ray of chest. To repeat, please go ahead with the consultation and diagnosis. Bad breath always has an underlying reason. Home-made therapy may not work and the original problem can get worsened.
