Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had bad breath for over ten years. Now I don't know what to do. What are the causes of bad breath?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is primarily the result of the stomach's function being trapped by cold pathogens and the excessive yang dryness fire. The main cause of halitosis is periodontitis. Nasopharyngeal diseases can also lead to halitosis. For severe halitosis patients, if the condition is serious, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Avoid self-treating with small clinics or medication. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly using medication to prevent worsening the condition.
