Bad Breath? What is causing this?

in FAQ

for a few months i have noticed a bad smell to my breath. Occasionally I spit out small pieces of mucus from the back of my nasal cavity that smells similarly, but more intensely, to the way i feel my breath smells. What is causing the bad breath? How can I get rid of it?

I brush my teeth and tongue twice a day and floss daily. I occasionally have tried to use listerine mouth wash, but it does not solve the problem

You could have a throat stone. It’s basically mucus that forms a hard stone behind your tonsils. Eventually it will come out, but in the mean time it’s a little stinky and makes you self-conscious, but it’s not really a bad thing and doesn’t have anything to do with your oral hygiene.

Could be tonsil stones or post nasal drip. Read the linked article I have written on this EXACT topic.
