Severe Halitosis
I've been suffering from halitosis since when i was 8or 9 yrs old. By then it was tolerable but now it turned terrible and am unable to speak near someone. Even the breath from the nose is terrible. I was consulted dentist, ent and even gastro many times regarding this condition and nothing helped. They all says am physically fit and am not having any other organs related diseases. Please help me. Am loosing all the hopes these days.
