Patient's question:
I have a bad stomach and bad breath for seven or eight years. My tongue coating is yellow, greasy, and thick. I want to get rid of the bad breath. How can I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis can be seen in conditions like poor oral hygiene, dental caries, and other inflammatory issues. It is also related to gastrointestinal dysfunction and indigestion to some extent, though it has little connection with other factors. Patients with halitosis need to maintain good oral hygiene, eat more fruits and vegetables, reduce the intake of foods that are difficult to digest, drink more water, and avoid foods that are hard to digest. Those with dental inflammation also need treatment, which can gradually lead to recovery. There is no specific treatment for halitosis. For your condition, you can follow the above suggestions for treatment, or use general remedies like chewing gum, which can help stabilize the situation. There are no specific medications for treating halitosis, and it is also necessary to address the underlying diseases that may cause recurrent halitosis.
