HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such mouth odor could be due to some allergic condition or oral infection and most of the time it could be due to some dental infection too, all these need to be ruled out till then oral gargle of "Povidone Iodine" antihistamine can be used, and best would be "Tab Loratadine" once in day hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
