Bad breath, or halitosis, is a common problem â especially âmorning breath.â (Some people call it âdragon breath.â) Certain foods can cause bad breath. Garlic and onions are classic examples. Reflux of stomach contents can do the same. So can serious diseases of the liver or kidneys.
Some serious illnesses can cause your breath to have a strange chemical odor. The smell is different from halitosis, or bad breath caused by poor oral hygiene. The breath of someone with uncontrolled diabetes, for example, may have a sweet or fruity odor. It's a sign of a life-threatening condition called ketoacidosis. Liver disease may cause breath with a musty, ammonia-like smell. An intestinal blockage may cause the breath to smell like feces. Breath that has a fishy or urine smell could mean kidney failure. Other possible causes of unusual breath odors include sinusitis, lung abscess, and esophageal cancer.
