Dry Mouth: A Common Culprit of Chronic Bad Breath
Maintaining good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent tonsil stones. Brush and floss regularly, and use mouthwash to help kill bacteria in your mouth.
Certain foods and beverages can contribute to bad breath from the throat. Foods such as garlic, onions, and spices contain volatile compounds that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and released through the breath. These compounds can linger in the throat, causing bad breath.
