Hi,

Bad breath can be due to either causes arising from mouth or problems in general body. As you are saying there are red and white bumps, so there might be some problem within mouth causing bad breath which can be a case of fungal infection, poor oral hygiene, ulceration or any thing else. The problems in your general health can be due to issues in stomach, intestines, liver, diabetes, kidney issue and constipation.

You are kindly requested to tell more about yourself and send a clear photograph of the mouth where such lesions have developed. Your feedback will help to arrive at a solid conclusion and accordingly you would be assisted further. You are also advised to maintain good oral hygiene like brushing of teeth particularly before sleep and cleansing of oral cavity after taking food and beverages.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sohail Hussain Zargar, Dentist
