Suggest Treatment For Bad Breath

For years, friends, family and girlfriends have always told me my breathe smells. I do brush twice daily and try and hydrate my mouth as much as I can. I've tried the gum where it makes your mouth water so it doesn't dry and create bacteria. I brush my tongue carefully as well as my entire mouth, but what it seems like minutes later, it still smells like low-tide. Is there any remedy for this?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bad breath could be because of the deposits over the teeth causing gum infection. Or it can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection or any respiratory tract infection.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions.
if it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash.
if it is tooth infection get the tooth restored.
If it is respiratory tract infection consult a pulmonologost.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
