Patient's question:
I wash my face every morning and evening, and I don't eat much either, but how come my bad breath is so severe? Hello doctor, is there any convenient medicine to treat bad breath?Doctor's answer:
A 50-year-old female with severe oral malodor is advised to visit the oral and periodontal department for examination and consultation. Based on your description, the first step should be to carefully examine the periodontal condition to ensure it is good. Poor periodontal health can lead to oral malodor due to the influence of periodontal irritants. If the oral condition is good, a thorough check of the gastrointestinal function should be conducted, as abnormal gastrointestinal absorption can also cause oral malodor. It is necessary to visit the gastroenterology department for a detailed examination.For patients with halitosis, in addition to taking targeted medication, dietary therapy can be used as supplementary treatment in daily life. A proper diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
