Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Bad breath could be due to oral bad hygiene, like tart formation, dental carries, abscess formation, decay, the only option for this to consult the dentist. Second, if this is not the oral related bad breath then it could be from the stomach, and for that diet change is must. Avoid taking fat contained food, drink more water, have more vegetable diet, else the symptoms has nothing to take anything with the old history of abdominal surgeries.



Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you any more.
