You really need to mention that you your doctor and get it diagnosed. Bad breath can mean anything from inadequate saliva (which can mean more gum infections/disease) to more serious problems, ulcers and the like.
If it's a saliva issue, chewing SUGARFREE gum might help, as that stimulates saliva production. Mints and candies wil make it worse, because they cause plaque.
But seriously, this really is an issue for your doctor.
