C asked:
My has a bad breath taste to it.
I have a cold and have been coughing a lot (also sore throat and congestion + runny nose). Does that have to do with it?
I just listerined for a while until it stopped tingling and that lasted or like 10 minutes.
Now it’s back, and its in the back of my throat.
What caused this?
How do I get rid of it?
I also have braces.
So I can’t do anything that is going to dissolve the glue or anything.

It is because of cold and congestion. You can do warm saline rinses & gargles. These will help. For more information on this you can read the following very informative article from a dental website
You also use their free dental consultation service for answers from dentist

It is possible that your colds may contribute to your bad breath.
You need to get better and be healthy.
You are also wearing braces so it means you cannot thoroughly clean your teeth well.
so it is also a factor causing a bad breath, anything that is stuck between your teeth can cause bad breath

I would recommend you to floss really well. also brush your tongue sometimes you can see white stuff on it try to get it all off i would help a lot and sometimes it is because you are sick.

Most bad breath comes from your tongue, not your teeth. Bacteria grow on the surface of your tongue and produce sulfur containing compounds that smell, that is bad breath.
The only way to really control bad breath is to remove the bacteria by using OraBrush tongue cleaner. OraBrush is like a surgeon’s scrub brush. The bristles are individual, pointed, soft and flexible so they can reach down into the indentations of the tongue surface. OraBrush will loosen the bacteria and then this bacterial can be removed by using the scraper on the cleaner. Learn more about the cause and control of bad breath at Dr. Bob PhD.
