Every time I finish eating, I still rinse my mouth fully but it still doesn't go away, and every time I lie down to sleep, it doesn't matter how long, when I wake up, my mouth has a bad smell, I have to rinse it right away even though I rinse my mouth every day for 2 days. - 3 times/day. My neck often has phlegm. I did some research on the internet, and I found that it was similar to a case of stomach ulcers. So the doctor asked me what disease is white tongue with bad breath?
