One of the best ways to break up mucous formation would be to drink plenty of water.  If that still doesnt do the trick i would suggest seeing a doc.

All the answers are correct.  Floss, brush your tongue, use a good mouth wash like, Listerine, brush at least twice a day or after every meal.  Also certain infections or plaque built up on your teeth can cause bad breath.  See your dentist regularly.  Some people with bad breath is not caused by anything in the mouth.  It could be your digestive system.

Keep your sinus clean and hydrated.\n\nThere are many nasal 'douching' techniques and gadgets out there. (I find that a small bowl with warm water and sea salt work the best.)  Mostly all that does is rinse things out and moisturizes the membranes.\n\nSounds odd but it sure works!

Chlorophyll is the way to go. Pills or parsley. \n\nGargling does no good as the smell is in your bloodstream, not your mouth.

Besides brushing your teeth and flossing, make sure when you brush, to also brush your tongue. As far back as you can without gagging. It really does work to do this after meals. I also chew gum, and use those little breath strips and sprays. I have pretty bad breath and I am a smoker. This stuff helps, try getting your teeth cleaned, it doesn't cost to much and it is cheaper than fixing a cavity. Hope this helps.

There are many different things you can do to ease the cold. Try drinking lots of Tea for example some ginger root tea. To make this you will want to boil about 4 cups of water. Get a 2" chunk of ginger and peal off the peal. chop it up into small slivers and put it in the boiling water. you will want to then turn down the heat and put a lid on the pan and then let it simmer for 10 to 15 min. Its recommended to not use sweetener, but i know for me i have to have a little bit of honey.\n\nNext a lot of people swear by garlic. I know... ewe... but it does have a lot of healing properties. Some say you should make a tea with it, but i say that is gross, so just take one clove of garlic, peal off the husk, and cut it in to small chunks, DO NOT CHEW! this will lead to bad breath. just swallow the garlic with water like tacking a pill.\n\nMy last recommendation is sweet lemon tea. My mom used to make this for me all the time when i was little and sick. She would boil some water put it in a glass with a whole lemon and some honey to sweeten it. I always felt better after drinking that tea. and it still works to this day, even though i have to make it my self now.

Rinse with warm, salty water several times a day.  This will help keep salt-hating bacteria on the run.\n\nOn another note, keep in mind that your body renews its outer layers of skin, etc. approximately every 7 days.  Your tongue will be feeling much better this time next week.\n\nBest of everything!

Click the link below for the low down on bad breath.  I love garlic!\n\nMouthwashes tend to disguise bad breath instead of curing or preventing it. In fact, some conventional mouthwashes leave our mouth dry and thereby make it more hospitable to bacteria. Chlorine-dioxide-based mouthwashes are the latest in bad breath prevention. These mouthwashes attack the sulfur compounds responsible for bad odor. The simplest way to rinse the mouth, dislodge food particles, and stimulate saliva flow is by drinking water

Warm salt and water. The salt will kill the bacteria in your mouth and also calm the nerves. Like epsome salt would on your skin.

Start taking a zinc supplement as soon as you realize you are getting a cold.  Drink lots of water and juice with vitamin c.  If you are congested, you can take decongestants in the form of cold pills and drink warm liquids like chicken broth to help break up the mucus.  Make sure you are washing your hands often (20 seconds of lathering and rinse under warm water) and after you blow your nose or cough - if you are constantly blowing you can use some Purell to sanitize your hands, but you should still wash them with good old soap and warm water before you touch your face/eyes/mouth or eat.  Get plenty of rest.  Once you are better, continue to wash your hands often -as this is the best defense against getting sick.  I hope you feel better soon.

Dab a little Vick's Vaporub on the outside of your nose. It helps me.

Drink plenty of fluids, take lots of Vitamin C, use chelated zinc lozenges or take zinc tablets. (I prefer the zinc tablets. Remember to always take zinc on a full stomach and avoid large doses. Doing otherwise can cause severe nausea and the body will usually reject it.) Hot and spicy foods are also good for the sinuses. Echinacea can help (avoid if you have immune problems) as well as garlic tablets (remedy not approved by the FDA). Always check with your doctor before starting a new regimen, especially if you regularly take prescription meds. \n\nYou can prevent colds with good nutrition, Vitamin C, multivitamins, regular exercise, and by taking care of yourself to promote a strong immune system.\n\nMany doctors recommend that if you use Vicks Vapo-Rub or a similar product, use as directed on package. Do not apply around or inside nostrils because inhaling particles directly can, over time, cause a type of pneumonia that cannot yet be cured because we have not found a way to remove petroleum jelly from lung tissue.

Generally white saliva or mucous is a normal way for the lungs to keep themselves clean. If it is thick you may be dehydrated. The easiest way to make mucous thinner is to drink water. Water helps thin out the mucous and make it easier for the body to absorb. If you have any color like yellow, green, brown, you might have some kind of infection.

Dairy products increase mucus formation, so eliminate this from your diet except for low-fat soured products like yogurt and dairy cheese.  Reduce your intake of sugar and salt from your diet.  \n\nIncrease your intake of raw foods-- fruits and vegetables.  \n\nConsume plenty of hot liquids such as soups and herbal teas.  These help the mucus flow, relieving congestion and sinus pressure.  Adding cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger and horseradish to soups or teas may bring even faster relief.\n\nLastly, do not smoke and avoid secondhand smoke.  If you live in a smoggy area, consider getting an air purifier.
