Brief Answer:
Get GERD in control.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
See all your problems are related to GERD only. This is the reason for your bad breath. You also might be suffering from dry cough because of that.
I advise following in such conditions:
1. To take a Pantoprazole 40 twice a day.
2. To take Tablet Domperidone 10 mg twice a day. If one is already on that I switch to Levosulpride.
3. To take frequent small meals.
4. To walk after each meal.
5. Say no to smoking and alcohol in case you do.
6. Start Chlorhexidine moth wash for gargles twice a day.
7. To take soft bland diet.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
