I think your doctor must have asked for urea breath test for diagnosis of H pylori in your stomach which sometimes causes reflux oesophagitis and resulting foul smell from the mouth. You can go ahead and get this test done
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
