[|AI|]  Hello, The bad breath could be because of the deposits over the teeth causing gum infection, Or it can be because of the fissure tongue, or it can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection or any respiratory tract infection. Consult an oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions. If it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once, and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash. If it is tooth infection get the tooth restored. If it is a fissure tongue, you can use topical antifungal agents like candid mouth paint. If it is respiratory tract infection consult a pulmonologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
