Question

bad breath?

have no troubles like sinus and stuff. my teeth are in perfect condition(been to doc like 3 times lately)

Answer 1

I had the same thing. Mostly when I sneezed.
I went to the dentist several times, and the ear, nose and throat doctor to make sure I didn't have an infection in the bone.
My dr told me that stomach acid is the #2 leading cause of halitosis.
He gave me nexium and it went away pretty much (I;'m not good about taking it).
Go to an ear, nose and throat doctor...they can probably look in your nose to make sure.

Answer 2

Here are some of the things that causes bad breath like: A.) What he eat. foods such as garlic and onions. Check the foods he's into. Be conscious with all the foods he's been taking. Odors continue until the body eliminates the food. B.) Dieters may develop unpleasant breath from infrequent eating. Is he skipping foods? that's one of the reason too. So he must eat foods on time or don't make him hungry for it may developed acids that turns to bad breath too. Avoid sour foods too while odor still exist for it would only worsen. C.) if he don't brush and floss daily, food remain in the mouth causing bacteria. But if he does, try to check his gums if its swelling then its the cause "Gingivitis" that's a common condition for people who take steroids. If that exist, prepared an appointment for a dentist for cleaning then have a gargle solution as his maintenance & tongue cleaner too. D.) Bad breath can also be caused by dry mouth (xerostomia) if he has dry mouth, have him more that 8 glasses of water all the time. Avoid juices, sodas for the meantime till odor disappear. avoid alcohol contents in his gargle solution. You can also have artificial saliva in drug stores too if this situation exist. E.) Is he smoking? Tobacco products cause bad breath. F.) Bad breath may be the sign of a medical disorder too such as infection in the respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment. Since he has just off from the medicines from his sinus problems, there are instances that its not yet been eliminated into his systems. This would usually disappear after 1- 3 months from the last take of medicines in some cases.

Answer 3

Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that causes ulcers and bad breath. Docs can test you for H. pylori presence. Eating yogurt can sometimes keep the bacteria under control, and if this doesn't work, there are antibiotics.

Answer 4

I was told by a pediatrician that one of her patients had the same problem and she gave him a probiotic called Florastor because it kills bacteria and that is what causes bad breath.
I guess it is worth a try.
