Bad breath in men, which is medically known as bad breath, is a common problem in men. Bad breath is usually simple and unavoidable. Dietary factors, tobacco, and alcohol can cause bad breath. Poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dental conditions, or oral infections can also cause bad breath.
Infections of the lungs, sinuses, or respiratory organs can cause bad breath due to the presence of nasal secretions that can enter the mouth. Chronic postnasal drip, such as occurs with a sinus infection, can cause bad breath. Coughing up phlegm from a lung infection can also cause bad breath.
