Answer 1

It could be many things. Does it taste kind of metallic or acidic? Have you had blood work and urinalysis? You should have your kidneys checked. Do you have indigestion? If that is the case, you could try drinking less soda and using something like Tums. Also, look at your tonsils. Sometimes tonsils have big holes in them (they are called cryptic tonsils) and food can get caught in them and bacteria grows. Another possibility is gum disease. Do you gums bleed when you brush your teeth? Do you floss regularly?
Just a few ideas.

Answer 2

A few things you could try:
1. Keep your tongue clean
2. Drink more water
3. Don't eat smelly foods like onions
4. Don't do bodybuilding
5. Don't stress
6. Stay young
7. Eat breath mints or gum that do NOT contain sugar
8. Dont' try to mask the odour with another odour
9. Blow your nose more often
10. Don't use mouthwash with alcohol in it
11. Don't use toothpast with Sodium Laureth Sulphate (soap) in it
12. Medications can dry your mouth. Drink more water
13. Everyone has morning breath to some degree
14. Don't smoke
15. Use Clinically Proven Oxygenating Oral Products

Answer 3

Tonsil stones can be squeezed out of tonsils using a Q-tip and having some immense patience as well as preparing to gag a lot. Gargling every morning with warm salt water can help break them down so they're easier to pass, and then using an alcohol free mouthwash can help with the smell. She's obviously a hygienic person, I don't know if having a candid discussion with her coworkers (with her permission of course) explaining that it's a medical condition and she's doing her best to remedy it might help, I'm not sure. I think all of us are extremely sensitive about how we are perceived to others and smell is a very touchy subject. I think the next approach should be to sit down with her and tell her you've done some research and you understand, what can you do as an employer to help and make her feel more comfortable?

Answer 4

Certain types of fruit may not be good. Stick with apples and citrus fruits, and non-carbonated drinks - warm or cold water (boil it or put it through a filter jug first) with a dash of lemon is good. But check with your dentist, too - the problem may be to do with teeth or gums. Your dentist can also suggest an effective mouthwash and gargle. There's also a chance that you may be worrying unnecessarily and that other people wouldn't notice any problem. Good luck.

Answer 5

Try eating parsley and peppermint leaves. This may help to mask the odor. The carbonated drinks may be just allowing the odor to come out of your stomach. You may want to try fruit juices and other non carbonated beverages.

Answer 6

Tooth decay might be a factor. Have you seen a dentist lately?
