Bad Breath

Bacteria causing pneumonia can release an unpleasant smell. The phlegm or mucus a person with aspiration pneumonia coughs up may have traces of bacteria. Because of this, a person's breath or mucus may have a foul odor.

Bad breath without a discernible cause can be a sign of many issues, and although bad breath with no other symptoms is unlikely to be pneumonia, it could still be worth discussing with a doctor.1‘Aspiration Pneumonia.’ MedlinePlus, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000121.htm
