there really isn't one, more just preventative things. sorry to hear that
no cure.. but you can floss, rinse with mouthwash, brush teeth, and chew alot of gum therefore erasing its existence
Dentist visits, brush and floss regularly, and altoids.
See your dentist and ask what you can do to help the bad breath.
Also keep a journal of when you notice it more.
My husband has that problem and we found it is worse when he eats sweets.
On the positive side, halitosis is better than no breath at all.
i dont know-sorry
Brushing your teeth is the cure.
Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Is it possible bad breath or halitosis could be getting between you and your business or social success? Do you often experience dryness or a bad taste in your mouth? Are people offering you mints, stepping back from you in the middle of a conversation or avoiding you all together? If so, you may be one of the ninety million people with chronic breath odor problems. (Yes, I said “ninety million people.”)

Halitosis occurs for many different reasons. These include diet, stress, tooth decay, gum disease, bad digestion, nose or throat infections, medications, dentures and smoking. But the primary cause is simply poor oral hygiene that allows putrefactive bacteria to grow in your mouth creating an unpleasant odor. The good news is that most cases of halitosis can be easily dealt with.

The best thing to do is brush your teeth at least twice a day or after every meal if possible. And remember to floss daily. While you’re at it, brush your tongue and the walls and roof of your mouth as well. Proper oral hygiene removes the odor causing bacteria, plaque and food that accumulate in your mouth. Mouthwash and sugarless mints, on the other hand, can only temporarily mask bad odor - not eliminate it.

“Morning breath” is often caused by hunger and if you skip “breaking fast” (breakfast), it will return shortly after brushing your teeth. So, eating a good breakfast and an all around good diet, rich in raw fruits and veggies can help remedy offensive breath problems. But, be sure to avoid coffee with your breakfast, because caffeine is another halitosis culprit.

Weight loss programs may also contribute to halitosis, particularly ketosis causing low carb type diets. And researchers believe fatty meats, cheese and butter cause breath problems too. So, if you’re dieting, be sure to drink plenty of water (a good idea even if you’re not trying to lose weight) and eat lots of raw veggie snacks. High fiber “cleansing” foods (such as raw celery and carrots) help scrub your teeth and keep your insides clean.

If you find that simple home remedies don't work, please contact a dentist or physician as soon as possible to rule out more serious conditions.
Halitosis is caused when bacteria, living inside your mouth, give off noxious waste products from eating what they find there. Essentially, bad breath is the smell of bacteria farting. To reduce this, you must brush your teeth regularly and very thoroughly - at least two minutes at a time, at least twice a day, though in your case I would say after every meal. Floss afterwards. Avoid sugary foods, including fruit, or brush straight afterwards. Bacteria love sugar and other waste products they give off cause tooth decay. If you drink a lot of sugary drinks, switch to sugar-free. Avoid carbonated drinks as far as possible. Use a good antiseptic mouthwash like Listerine after brushing/flossing, and gargle with it before spitting out. Keep up to date with your dentist. There's no specific medicine to fix it because all you have to do is get the bacteria out of your mouth as much as possible. You can do this by following the above. Good luck.
Dont forget to brush your tongue and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
