Patient's question:
How can I treat bad breath? I have had bad breath for two years. Is there a simplest and most effective way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
First, it's important to understand that bad breath is not a disease itself, but rather a symptom of some underlying condition. The main causes of bad breath can be divided into two categories: local oral factors and systemic disease factors. If a thorough examination reveals no disease and the body shows no discomfort, taking some heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory medications may be helpful. If the condition of bad breath is severe, it is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
