Hello madam,
Since you have been already to the doctors for your problem but still having the same ptoblems. Thing what you have not mentioned here is that what treatment have you undergone.
If I were the treating doctor, on the basis of your given informations I would advice these
-For body odour
• Shower with antibacterial soap at least twice daily and you'll wash away sweat as well as reduce the number of bacteria on your skin.
• Use of high strength Deodorants or Antiperspirants to mask the body odour.
• Avoid spicy foods and the food which carry their odour in the sweat such as garlic and onion or pepper

-For bad breath
•It may be possible that the bad breath may be due to plaque and calculus(debris) between teeth and gums, which needs professional cleaning by the dentist.
• Rinse your mouth with chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily(preferebly in morning and in night before going to bed) for 15 days.Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after using mouthwash.
• You can use topical gels like metrogyl-DG forte (commonly chlorhexidine and metronidazole combination). Apply it over gums thrice daily.
Hope this will help you.
Thank You
Take Care
