Bad breath
I’ve been dealing with bad breath for almost two years now. I’ve always had good hygiene so I can’t blame it on that. I recently noticed that my tonsils have what looks like holes. And I also notice it has like a white maybe yellow dot. Recently I’ve been having trouble swallowing food and my tonsils are swollen. They always get swollen and go away. Help please

Dental visit ( cleaning n dental check up) bcoz if a lil food collect b/w ur tooth it will decay n cause smell r any decayed tooth also cause smell, u can follow these Eat foods rich in fiber, Drink green and black teas, Avoid drying medication: Try not to take antidepressants, diuretics, pain relievers, and antihistamines unless it is absolutely medically necessary.

The reason of bad breath could be many,like not brushing twice daily after meals,having a lot of diet rich in fats that produce ketones contributing to bad smell in mouth,also not having lots of water where the mouth dries up,so get a thorough cleaning and scaling from a dentist.
