Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query , i can understand your problem there is nothing so much this bad breath can be due to some reasons like poor oral hygiene , gums problem includes supra or subgingival depostion of plaque and calculus causing gingival problem like Gingivitis , Improper brushing technique ,bad breath can be Drug induced also , or medical condition like Respiratory problem, carious tooth or decayed tooth in oral cavity.
I will suggest you to consult Oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity and rule out the cause for bad breath . You should consult dentist and go for Oral prohylaxis and Brush your teeth twice , Use mouthwash chlorhexidine twice daily , you can do flossing also to clean interdental areas of tooth.
Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bad breath could be because of the deposits over the teeth causing gum infection. Or it can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection or any respiratory tract infection.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions.
if it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash.
if it is tooth infection get the tooth restored.
If it is respiratory tract infection consult a pulmonologost.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
