Patient's question:
I have had the problem of bad breath since I was young. My mouth is generally fine without much disease, but even after brushing my teeth, there's still a smell. I visited the digestive department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and the doctor conducted a thorough examination but couldn't find any problems. They said it might be due to stomach fire and prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine. However, it didn't help at all. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Bad breath is often caused by oral inflammation or stomach problems, so it is necessary to actively identify the root cause before further symptomatic treatment. In addition, during the treatment of bad breath, besides timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood, eat appropriately, and avoid foods to prevent unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from bad breath.
