Lesions in the nose and ear
Bad breath is occasionally seen in sinusitis(infection of para nasal sinuses). In case of post nasal dripping bad breath is common due to the presence of protein in the discharges. These proteins are degraded by the bacteria. Infection in the middle ear with discharge of pus in to the throat through the eustachian tube(passage from middle ear to the throat) can also cause offensive odor. Chronic rhinitis(infection of mucus membrane of nose) and foreign bodies in the nose can also produce bad smell in the expired air.
Diabetes mellitus
Mostly all diabetic patients suffer from bad breath. Coated tongue, ulcers & coatings in the mouth ,increased sugar level in tissues ect are responsible for bad breath. Bacterial growth in diabetic patient is very faster than non diabetic individuals.
