Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern . As per your query you have symptoms of bad odour in the mouth which is mainly because of dehydration of oral cavity and sinus infection leading to foul smell.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene and brush and floss twice a day. Chew sugar free chewing gum and tart candies as it help in stimulating saliva flow. Do warm saline rinses thrice and consult dentist for proper diagnosis. Doctor will examine physically to rule out conditions like acid reflux. Dentist may perform oral prophylaxis and prescribe antibiotics like metronidazole. Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
