What Causes Foul Mouth Odor While Smoking Methamphetamine?

Lately I ve been having and very putrefied milky smell when I breathe I don t have halitosis and I ve never encountered this problem before but it is so bad my girlfriend doesn t even want to sit next to me or even in the car with me I will say that lately I have taken to smoking methamphetamines. Guys I have also had an incredibly bad cough for weeks. Do you think that the two have anything to do with my new condition? And if so do you have any idea what it is and what I can do about it other than quit smoking meth

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain bad breath also known as Halitosis can occur due to a number of causes like
poor oral hygiene, oral and dental infections, tonsil stones or tonsilloliths,post nasal drip,
sinusitis, acid reflux,respiratory infections, diabetes etc..
You should consult an Oral Physician or an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough
clinical evaluation and investigations depending upon suspected cause can help in diagnosis..
Treatment of underlying cause will relieve the symptoms..
As of now you should start gargling with a flavoured mouthwash twice a day..
You should chew flavored sugarfree chewing gum..
Do warm saline gargles twice a day..
Limit the intake of high aroma foods like onion and garlic..
Drink plenty of water and maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
