Bad breath is resulted from the inside. Try Chinese medicine. It helps a lot.

Web MD has articles on Halitosis- Chronic Bad Breath.
I may just be a cavity that hasn't started hurting yet, but rotten teeth can be really rank.

Lets see.....if your friend has breath he is alive.
For BAD breath, the friend may need to go to a dentist for help. It could be bad teeth, food between teeth, sinus problems, consistent upset stomach or a host of other things.
Good luck. Pops

My son had that problem,then got severe headaches,toothaches,and broke out in hives.I took him to the dentist and his wisdom teeth were impacted and severely infected.The dentist pulled them and put him on antibiotics.But he went 2 years before that with bad breath.So I would tell him to see a dentist,there could be a reason, and it could easily be fixed.

Tongue scrapping and mouthwash can work wonders. Usually it has to do with the bacteria in the mouth or an infection. He might want to consider going to the dentist to have his mouth looked at.

Most bad breath comes from bacteria on your tongue. They have tongue scrapers located in the toothbrush section of any store. Tell him along with brushing his teeth, Brush his tongue as well if he doesnt get one of the scrapers.

If nothing works, it might be a dental problem and he should get checked by a dentist.

not having enough bowel movements. i know it sounds gross, but it has a lot to do with it. keep permints in your mouth all the time that really helps.
