It can be also due to diverticulum is esophagus
Symptoms -bad odour from mouth
usually burping or smell of old food like two or three days
It like a pouch in esophagus which keep on collecting food in it and give bad smell and burping of old food
Investigation-barrium x-ray
upper GI ENDOSCOPY
Treatment
Cleaning of mouth with chlorhexidin gurgle 4-5time a day
Cleaning of mouth (brush) morning and bed time
If endoscopy finding for diverticulum is positive then diverticulectomy
