Brief Answer:
about GERD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query,

Foul smell from mouth or nose can be due to nasal infection or sinusitis or throat infection or dental caries or gastric reflux disease.

As you have said that you feel the smell is coming from the stomach, it can be due to throat infection or reflux disease.

Please tell me do you have any dental caries?
Any history of indigestion or regurgitations?
Any history of constipation?
Any history of tobacco chewing or smoking?

Please follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better and suggest you accordingly.

Take care
Thanks and regards

I have no history of the questions asked. I’ve been to an ear nose and throat specialist and they’ve found nothing wrong.

GERD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.

You should take an antacid like Pantoprazole (40mg once daily) and a probiotic once daily for few days.
All the medicine prescribed by me will be available only on prescription.
Avoid any spicy foods and aerated drinks.
You will definitely be benefited.

I hope my advice proves helpful to you.
Thanks and regards
