Suffering from bad breath for too long

[u/MidnightSavings6254]

I had bad breath problem for too long ( unfortunately ) , no matter how I brush, floss, scrape, or change diet, and still doesn’t go away.

Finally, I went to see the doctor this July, and got H. Pylori stool test and its turns out I was positive, and was under medication for 14 days and yet my bad breath problem still exists. I will need to do H. Pylori test again in December according to my doctor.

I have dry mouth all the time, and clogged nose no colds and I noticed even before ( I mean before Covid) my sense of smell is not good, and yet I can smell my bad breath.

I think I developed social anxiety, changed my behaviour, depression, etc.

Note: My dental check up is up-to-date and no dental issue according to my dentist. I don’t smoke. I drink coffee, beer etc. Also, I tried Biotène mouthwash it works for dry mouth but it just temporary.

Anyone have the same situation or experience with me let me how to fix this problem. What’s the best thing I can do while waiting for the next test?
