Bad breath is due to accumulation of plaque on teeth, decay teeth, dry mouth, smoking, tobacco chewing, consumption of caffeinated or aerated beverages, oilly n spicy food, sore throat, bad digestion. Go for scaling and polishing of teeth. Use mouthwash twice daily after brushing. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Increase your water intake.

Bad smell from mouth can be due to gingivitis constipation or dry mouth for gingivitis you need to get full mouth scaling done gargle your mouth with warm water adding a pinch of salt floss everyday. Dry mouth can be due to some side effect of another medication.
