Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Halitosis or bad smell in mouth can occur due to a number of causes like poor oral hygiene, oral and dental infection, upper respiratory tract infection, dry mouth, sinusitis, acid reflux, excess intake of high aroma foods like onion and garlic, diabetes etc..
As you have acidity problem, it might cause acid reflux and can be a factor causing halitosis..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get a thorough evaluation done along with investigations as per the suspected cause and proper referral to specialist can be done..
As of now you can chew sugarfree chewing gum flavoured with mint or menthol flavours and gargle with flavoured mouthwash to mask bad smell..
You should also limit intake of high aroma foods..
Drink plenty of water and maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
