Certain Medications Cause Halitosis. Does Yours?
Side affects: dry mouth (AKA halitosis)
Does you medication list halitosis (dry mouth) as a side
affect. Countless over-the-counter medicines and
prescriptions medications claim dry mouth as a possible
side affect. Dry mouth is a leading cause of chronic bad
breath (halitosis), which means your medications could
cause halitosis. And you wouldn’t even know it, unless
someone brought it to your attention, since most people
cannot smell their own breath.
Any medication or treatment that causes dry mouth or
reduces salivation, allergy medications, antidepressants,
blood pressure, and sinus medications all have the
potential to cause halitosis.

Fighting Halitosis – How to Knock it Out
You may wonder, whom did you offend in a past life to be
punished with bad breath? Sounds dramatic, but that is what
bad breath (halitosis) is-dramatic. It wreaks havoc on your

worry that it is a group of people making fun of your bad
breath. Suddenly, the world seems to revolve around your
bad breath and fighting halitosis. The good news is that

stressing and read on (you’ll even learn about a bad breath

Help! I Have Chronic Halitosis!
What is chronic halitosis?
The most common cause of chronic halitosis (chronic bad
breath) is an oral condition such as bacterial build up in
the mouth, a cavity, or abscess. Another possible cause is
bacteria that produce volatile sulfur compounds on the
tongue which can occur either because your body produces
too much naturally, or from a high protein diet. Another
common cause of chronic halitosis is dry mouth. All the
conditions mentioned above are breeding grounds for the
bacteria that cause bad breath. But there are cures for
chronic bad breath which we’ll get into later.

The Passage to Bad Breath – Your Nose is Leading the Way
Did you ever think that your nose, not your mouth, could be
the cause of your bad breath? It’s true! For adults and
children, bad breath out of the nose is caused by sinus
problems, nasal congestion, allergies, the common cold and
other forms of congestion. To make matters worse,
over-the-counter antihistamines and cold medicine can dry
out your mouth. Add the dry mouth (a haven for bad breath
bacteria) with the mucus dripping from your nasal passages
and you have double trouble: bad breath out of the nose and
out of the mouth. As word of note to parents whose children
have bad breath out of the nose, make sure they have not
lodged a pea or other small food item in their nose. This
has been an odd ritual among children for ages.

Bad Breath in Children – How to Ease the Embarrassment
Bad Breath in Children: How to Ease the Embarrassment
Bad breath in children does occur, but how do you handle
it? If an adult who unknowingly had chronic bad breath
spoke to a group of friends, that group would probably not
make it obvious. If a child with chronic bad breath is
talking to a group of friends, chances are the group will
not have the maturity to deal with it and will probably
look away or fan their hand, acting in a way that makes the
child with bad breathe embarrassed. When bad breath in
children does occur it is important to treat it and prevent
further occurrences.
