Smells Your Body Makes That Tells You Something Is Wrong

Bad Breath That Won't Go Away

Bad breath that won't go away can be an indicator of advanced gum disease, a sinus condition, gastric reflux disease, diabetes, or liver and kidney disease. If you have advanced gum disease, your breath will have an unpleasant odor, and your gums will be red, swollen, tender, and bleed easily. This disease can be caused by smoking, hormonal changes, diabetes, and medications. Having a weakened immune system and genetic susceptibility may also contribute to gum disease. Visit a dentist or hygienist to alleviate the symptoms of this disease.

Digestive system disorders such as gastric reflux is another reason for persistent bad breath. This disorder makes the stomach acid and contents in your stomach return back into the esophagus and mouth. Gastric reflux causes belching, burping, and a sour taste in your mouth. Since the sphincter does not close properly after eating, food is not digested properly. In addition, it is the reason for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and bringing on bad breath.
