i have been suffering from this mouth odour that smells like feaces for the past 7years. This happens once in a while and all the hospitals have visited have not been able to address the cause of this problem. Once in a while, a brownish thing comes out of my mouth and when i smell it, the odur its extremly bad just like pool. Have tried personally address the issue by using different mouth wash, maintain oral hygine and buy different infection drugs but all failed. I will appreciate it if someone can show me the way out.

There can be several reasons for bad breath. Certain types of bacteria set up shop on your teeth, they can form a plaque. These plaques can break down teeth, not only causing cavities but also creating bad breath odours.
Many times tonsil stones and bad breath or sore throat closely related. Tonsil stones are caused by an accumulation of sulphur –producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in the tonsils. Many small tonsil stones do not cause obvious symptoms; apart from coughing up the small, soft, smelly lumps other possible symptoms include a metallic taste, throat closing or choking.
Tonsil stones can be removed by scraping or scooping. The most drastic and effective method, is of course, removal of tonsils (tonsillectomy. This should be considered as a last resort.
Take care.
