Bad breath + black patches/cracks on tongue + sensitivity on one side usually means there is an underlying dental or oral issue.
Common causes:
• Poor oral hygiene or plaque/tartar buildup
• Coated tongue (bacterial buildup)
• Gum infection
• Cavity on the sensitive side
• Dry mouth
What to do:
• Get professional cleaning (scaling)
• Clean tongue gently with a tongue cleaner daily
• Use a soft brush and desensitizing toothpaste
• Check the left side teeth for cavity or gum problem
If black patches do not go away after cleaning, get it examined to rule out fungal infection or other conditions.
Bad breath is usually treatable once the cause is identified. Please visit a dentist for proper check-up.

Hello
Bad odor can be due to cavities in mouth, lack of tongue cleaning or due to stomach related problems.
Kindly consult once with your nearest dentist for further examination.
